   A storage administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue on a PowerMax array. The administrator notices that a thin device is experiencing high latency, but the device's allocated capacity is only 60% of its total capacity. The administrator suspects that the device is not the bottleneck. Which additional information should the administrator examine to determine the root cause?

   • AThe performance metrics of the storage group and the array's front-end and back-end ports
   • BThe device's total capacity to see if it is too small
   • CThe device's WWN to confirm it is the correct device
   • DThe device's compression ratio to see if compression is causing overhead
