Which one of the following describes a characteristic of direct attached storage?

ADirect-attached storage offers infinite capacity as you can keep adding files to it

BDirect-attached storage is typically provisioned in volumes

CDirect-attached storage is mounted to compute nodes via an ethernet network

DDirect-attached storage is ephemeral, ephemeral storage persists as long as the compute resource is attached to it

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Direct-attached storage (DAS) is a type of storage that is attached directly to a computer without going through a network.

DAS is typically used for internal storage in personal computers and servers in the form of a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD) directly connected to the motherboard.

Direct-attached storage is ephemeral or non-persistent. they persist as long as the instance isn't deleted; it will not be lost and reset due to reboots.

Direct-attached storage offers limited capacity, but using multiple hard disk drives, we can expand its storage capacity.

C) Ethernet network? Seriously? That's like connecting your fridge to the internet. Not how direct-attached storage works.

I'm not sure about that. I think the answer might be D) Direct-attached storage is ephemeral, as it persists only as long as the compute resource is attached to it.

I agree with you, Casandra. Direct-attached storage is usually provisioned in volumes to manage storage capacity efficiently.

D) Ah, the classic 'ephemeral storage' option. I bet the exam writers thought they were being clever with that one.

B) Definitely, direct-attached storage is typically provisioned in volumes. Anything else would just be silly.
