What is this exactly? if you are talking about storage account type, the newest types are 1. storage GP V2 2. premium types 2.1 premium block blob 2.2 premium file shares 2.3 premium page blobs for legacy type, they are standard GP v1 and standard blob storage if you are talking about storage performance tiers, yes it has standard and premium Standard performance tier supports General purpose v2, general purpose v1, legacy blob Premium performance tier supports Premium block blob if you talk about storage access tiers, it's hot, cold and archive if you talk about storage services, they are blob, data lake, queue or table etc SO WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PREMIUM STORAGE V2?

It is a Storage V2 account that uses SSD, which is more expensive than Standard ones.

Storage accounts in a premium performance tier use solid-state drives (SSDs) for low latency and high throughput. If you read this, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-performance-tiers Premium performance tier does NOT support GP V2 type

i think it's an old stuff now upgraded in Azure but still present in the exam questions. Azure is a platform continuing evolving so i think it's normal to find some discrepancies between the current and the exam

Selected Answer: A
Everytime GPv2 is an option, it tends to be the right one xD (this time, standard, so the cost is minimized, of course).
