A company plans to deploy a new application in their environment. The new application requires 5 TB of storage space. During peak workloads, the application is expected to generate 3000 IOPS with a typical I/O size of 3 KB. The capacity of each available disk drive is 750 GB. In addition, the maximum number of IOPS a drive can perform at with a 70% utilization is 90 IOPS.
What is the minimum number of disk drives needed to meet the application's capacity and performance requirements for a RAID 0 configuration?

  • A. 7
  • B. 34
  • C. 50
  • D. 40

Harddisks can do 90 IOPS at 70% each (which is the recommended workload percentage to calculate with). Required by application is 4500 IOPS. So 4500 / 90 = 50 HDDs. So the answer could be C. 50. By adding a 25% risk buffer, the calculation result is 62.5 disks, so D. 70 maybe a correct answer, too.

I assume that the number 7 should be 70. So then A would be correct

3000 : 90 = 33.3 -> 34 * 0.25 ( should considering 25% risk buffer) +8 41.25 = 40

The disks aren't running at 100% as the question says the IOPS per disk are worked out at 70%
