Which ONTAP feature combines multiple writes into a single 4K block on the aggregate?

Answer options

• A. Data compaction
• B. Volume-level deduplication
• C. Data compression
• D. Aggregate-level deduplication

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Data compaction is the correct answer as it efficiently combines multiple writes into a single 4K block, optimizing storage. Volume-level deduplication and aggregate-level deduplication focus on eliminating duplicate data rather than merging writes, while data compression reduces the size of data but does not combine writes.
