EMC Proven Professional – PowerMax Specialist — Question 9

A storage administrator is configuring a storage pool on a Unity system containing Flash disks and SAS disks. What tier will the system assign to each of the disk types?

Answer options

• A. Flash: Extreme Performance SAS: Performance
• B. Flash: Performance SAS: Capacity
• C. Flash: Extreme Performance SAS: Capacity
• D. Flash: Capacity SAS: Performance

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as Flash disks are designed for extreme performance due to their speed and low latency, while SAS disks are typically categorized as performance disks in a tiered storage system. The other options incorrectly assign Flash disks to lower performance tiers or misclassify SAS disks, which can lead to suboptimal storage performance.
