I agree with 4. Fits well in most racks.

Surprised it's not 5U, honestly.

5U? That's a lot of space. I wonder if it comes with a built-in coffee maker to make up for all the rack space it takes up.

Hmm, I'm going to go with B) 4. It just seems like a nice, round number for a rack unit height.

3U? That's way too small. This thing must be massive if it's 5U. I hope my data center can handle the size.

I'm pretty sure it's 4U. Who even cares about rack units anyway? I just want my data to be fast and reliable.

I honestly can’t recall the exact height, but I feel like 3 rack units sounds familiar for some other models.

I remember practicing a question about rack units, and I feel like 5 was mentioned, but that might have been for a different model.

I'm a little unsure about this one. I don't have direct experience with the FlashArray//XR2/3, so I'll need to rely on my general knowledge of rack-mounted equipment to make an educated guess.

I'm confident I know the answer to this. The rack unit height is a key specification that's usually prominently displayed for storage hardware. I'll select my answer and move on.

Okay, I think I can figure this out. The rack unit height is usually a standard size, so I'll need to look up the typical dimensions for this type of storage array.
