HPE Converged Storage Solutions — Question 61

Which low-latency protocol should you recommend for a local flash-based drive connected directly to PCIe, eliminating the performance penalty of an array controller?

Answer options

• A. FATA
• B. SATA
• C. NVMe
• D. SAS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is NVMe because it is specifically designed for flash storage and connects directly to PCIe, providing low latency and high throughput. FATA, SATA, and SAS are not optimized for flash memory and can introduce performance bottlenecks due to their design for traditional hard drives.
