A – correct, minimum is 8 disks
B – wrong
C – Initially you needed Smart Array Advanced Pack 2.0 to support RAID 60. This restriction was removed in firmware version 4.68 if I remember correctly. This certification is at least 2 years old so I think this option is correct regarding to this test.
D. – it’s stated that you have HP P421 with 1GB FBWC available! So additional BBWC isn’t needed. This option is wrong.
Correct answers – A, C
