Selected Answer: A
Option A is the only option without downsides. 4 CPU cores & 16GB can handle multiple VMs efficiently. 1TB SSD gives a large amount of fast storage. The CPU clock speed isn't really a big deal, higher clock speed doesn't necessarily make one CPU better than another one. ----- B. CPU 3.2GHz - 1 core 16GB DDR4 RAM 4TB SSD: The one core in CPU would limit performance when running multiple VMs for application testing. C. CPU 2.5GHz - 2 cores 16GB DDR4 RAM 4x 1TB HDD RAID 5: RAID 5 HDD build not as fast a single SSD and 2 cores could be better. D. CPU 3.2GHz - 4 cores 8GB DDR4 RAM 500GB HDD: Not enough RAM or storage.

Hear me out, and I'm just spitballing here, Wouldn't C be a better option because of the RAID 5 which gives it fault tolerance? Would you like to have a back up in case the testing goes wrong?
