Your network contains servers that run only Windows Server 2012.
You have five storage pools. The storage pools are configured as shown in the following table.
You need to identify which storage pools can be used as clustered disk resources.
Which storage pools should you identify? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all
that apply.)
A.
StoragePool1
B.
StoragePool2
C.
StoragePool3
D.
StoragePool4
E.
StoragePool5
Explanation:
The clustered storage pool MUST be comprised of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connected physical disks.
Note: SAS, Serial Attached SCSI, is an evolution of parallel SCSI into a point-to-point serial peripheral
interface in which controllers are linked directly to disk drives.
Incorrect:
Not B, not C, not E: iSCSI and Fibre Channel controllers are not supported.
Deploy Clustered Storage Spaces

A is not SAS.
SATA is supported in Storage Spaces

But is it also supported as a CLUSTERED resource in Storage Spaces ?
I could not verify this for sure.
I think only D is correct

For shared-storage deployments on failover clusters:
Two or more servers running Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012
Requirements as specified for failover clustering and Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV)
SAS connected JBODs that comply with Windows Certification requirements
For a list of certified JBODs, see the Windows Server Catalog.
Identical SAS HBAs that are certified for use with Storage Spaces
These HBAs are connected to all JBOD enclosures in the file server cluster, and can’t have built-in RAID functionality.
That’s no SATA !

So, clustered disks must be SAS drives. OK… So why isn’t C a correct answer?
I think A, C and D are valid answers.
