Dell EMC SC Series Storage Professional — Question 6

What are two effects of pre-allocating space on a volume? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It will improve the performance of the volume for a specific application.
• B. The volume will no longer be thin provisioned.
• C. The RAID level of this volume will be changed to RAID 0.
• D. Data progression will no longer work on this volume.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because pre-allocating space can lead to improved performance for specific applications by reducing fragmentation and the overhead of dynamic allocation. Option C is incorrect because pre-allocating space does not automatically change the RAID level; it remains as configured unless explicitly modified.
