I'm going with 8 blades. It's the only answer that makes sense to me. Although, I do wonder if the blades come pre-seasoned, or if we have to add our own spices. Gotta keep that FlashBlade flavorful, you know?

I'm not sure about the seasoning, but 8 blades does sound like the minimum needed.

Hmm, 27 blades? That's a lot of blades. Are we sure this isn't a trick question and the answer is actually 35 blades? I mean, who has that many blades lying around just for backup purposes?

Wait, 8 blades? That seems way too low. With that much data being written, I'd think we'd need at least 15 blades to handle the workload. Unless those backup appliances are secretly Godzilla-sized.

I'm pretty sure the answer is 8 blades. The backup appliances can write at line speed, and with 4 of them and dual 10Gbps NICs, that's a lot of throughput that the FlashBlade needs to handle.
