HPE Virtual Connect Solutions v4 — Question 68

Which disk technology provides the lowest latency for performing random reads?

Answer options

• A. NVMe SSD
• B. SATA HDD
• C. SAS HDD
• D. SATA SSD

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The NVMe SSD technology is designed to take advantage of the high-speed PCIe interface, resulting in significantly lower latency compared to traditional HDDs and SATA SSDs. SATA HDDs and SAS HDDs have mechanical components that introduce delays, while SATA SSDs, although faster than HDDs, still do not match the performance of NVMe SSDs.
