According to Dell XtremIO documentation, when upgrading an XtremIO X2 two X-Brick cluster, the minimal number of SSDs that can be ordered is 12.
XtremIO clusters use a scale-out architecture, and each X-Brick requires a specific number of SSDs for proper functioning.
The upgrade process is designed to maintain the performance and resilience of the storage system.
The specific requirement of 12 SSDs ensures balanced data distribution and optimal performance across the cluster.

I’m leaning towards 18, but I’m not confident. I wish I had reviewed the specifics about the XtremlO X2 before the exam.

I feel like the answer might be 24 since it seems like a common number for upgrades, but I can't recall the exact reasoning behind it.

I remember a practice question about SSD configurations, and I think it was something like needing to fill a certain percentage of the DAE. Could it be 12?

I think the question is asking about the minimum number of SSDs needed for the upgrade, but I'm not entirely sure how the X-Brick configuration affects that.
