A customer is interested in implementing sixteen 300 GB SAS drives and sixteen 400 GB
SSDs into their existing DS8800 subsystem architecture. What solution would be an
acceptable design?
A.
The solution requested is an invalid architecture 400 GB SSDs are supported only in a
DS8 8 70 architecture
B.
Intermix eight 300 GB SAS drives and eight 400 GB SSDs in the same storage enclosure
providing better performance, and enclosure protection
C.
Implement sixteen 300 GB SAS drives and sixteen 400 GB SSDs into separate storage
enclosures as the architecture is unable to support an intermix of SSDs and SAS drives in
one storage enclosure
D.
Alternate 300 GB SAS drives and 400 GB SSDs in each storage enclosure slot This will
provide a balance of 110 between enclosure slots ESMs. while providing capability of
storage enclosure protection
Definitely NOT B
Most probable is C

The DS8700 also supports Solid-State Drives (SSDs). SSDs also come in disk enclosures which are either partially populated with 4 disks, 8 disks, or fully populated with 16 disks. They have the same form factor as DS8700 HDD disks. SSDs and other disks cannot be intermixed within the same enclosure pair
