   What is the primary role of the E3 storage architecture in 16G PowerEdge MX modular systems?

   • AIt provides a dedicated storage fabric that connects compute sleds to shared storage enclosures.
   • BIt is a software-defined storage layer that runs entirely on the management controller.
   • CIt replaces the need for any external storage by embedding all data directly on the compute sleds.
   • DIt is a proprietary NVMe-oF protocol used only for high-performance storage.

   A data center administrator is configuring a PowerEdge MX sled with multiple NVMe drives for a database workload. The database requires redundancy and high performance. The administrator plans to use the PERC controller. Which PERC feature is essential to meet the redundancy requirement without sacrificing performance?

   • AEnable RAID 5, which provides parity-based redundancy with good performance for NVMe drives.
   • BEnable RAID 1, which provides mirroring but limits capacity and does not stripe for performance.
   • CEnable RAID 10, which provides mirroring and striping for both redundancy and performance.
   • DEnable RAID 0, which maximizes performance but provides no redundancy.
