Question

A technician needs to install a cost-effective storage device into a rackmount server that will be used as a VM host. This storage will be used for all VMs that run from the server. Which of the following should be used?

A. Optical disk drive
B. eMMC storage device
C. 15,000rpm drive
D. RAID 10 array

Answer 1

Option D, a RAID 10 array, is the most suitable choice for this scenario.


RAID 10 provides both performance and reliability by combining the benefits of RAID 0 and RAID 1. It offers high read and write speeds, as well as redundancy, which is critical for a VM host.
