Actual exam question for Dell EMC's D-XTR-MN-A-24 exam

Question #: 31
Topic #: 2

[All D-XTR-MN-A-24 Questions]

What is the SAS connection speed on an XtremIO X1 compared to an X2?

AX1: 4 Gb/s
X2: 8 Gb/s

BX1: 6 Gb/s
X2: 12 Gb/s

CX1: 8 Gb/s
X2: 16 Gb/s

DX1: 12 Gb/s
X2: 24 Gb/s

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) connection speed for an XtremIO X1 is 6 Gb/s, while for an XtremIO X2, it is 12 Gb/s. The increased speed in the X2 model enhances data transfer rates and overall performance, reflecting advancements in the hardware capabilities of the newer generation.

X1 at 6 Gb/s? That seems off.

I'm going with C. Anything less than 16 Gb/s on the X2 would be a letdown.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. I'll have to double-check the specs on these models to be sure.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C. The X2 model is supposed to be an upgrade from the X1, so it makes sense that the connection speed would be doubled.

The correct answer is C) X1: 8 Gb/s, X2: 16 Gb/s. This makes sense since the X2 model would have faster SAS connection speeds.

I recall something about the X2 being significantly faster, maybe 12 Gb/s? But I can't remember the X1's speed for sure.

I practiced a question like this, and I feel like the X2 definitely had double the speed of the X1.
