   A PowerScale cluster has nodes with different drive configurations. Some nodes have SSDs, some have HDDs, and some have a mix. The administrator wants to ensure that data is placed on the most appropriate drives based on performance needs. They are considering creating multiple storage pools. What is the primary consideration when creating storage pools?

   • AGroup nodes based on their IP addresses for network efficiency
   • BGroup nodes based on their physical location to reduce latency
   • CGroup nodes with similar performance characteristics to ensure consistent data placement
   • DGroup nodes based on their capacity to maximize storage utilization
