Your on-premises network has 200-Mbps connection to Azure and contains a server named Server that stores 70 TB of data files.
You have an Azure Storage account named storage1.
You plan to migrate the data files from Server1 to a blob storage container in storage1. Testing shows that copying the data files by using azcopy will take approximately 35 days.
You need to minimize how long it will take to migrate the data to Azure.
What should you use?

The Microsoft Azure Data Box cloud solution lets you send terabytes of data into and out of Azure in a quick, inexpensive, and reliable way. The secure data transfer is accelerated by shipping you a proprietary Data Box storage device. Each storage device has a maximum usable storage capacity of 80 TB and is transported to your datacenter through a regional carrier. The device has a rugged casing to protect and secure data during the transit.

Azure Data Box is a physical appliance that allows you to transfer large amounts of data to Azure. With Azure Data Box, you can ship a physical device to your location, copy your data to the device, and then ship the device back to Microsoft. Once Microsoft receives the device, they will upload the data to Azure. Azure Data Box is designed for large data transfers and can handle up to 100 TB of data.
Using Azure Data Box can significantly reduce the time it takes to migrate the data compared to using azcopy. With Azure Data Box, the data can be shipped directly to Azure, bypassing the need to transfer it over the internet. Additionally, Azure Data Box can achieve higher transfer speeds than azcopy due to the use of multiple disks and parallel data transfer.
Azure Storage Explorer, option A, is a graphical user interface tool that can be used to manage Azure Storage resources. While it can be used to copy data to Azure, it is not designed for large data transfers.
Storage Migration Service, option C, is a tool that can be used to migrate on-premises servers to Azure. However, it is designed for migrating servers, not for migrating large amounts of data.
Azure File Sync, option D, is a service that can be used to synchronize files between an on-premises file server and Azure Files. While it can be used to transfer data to Azure, it is not designed for large data transfers and would not be the best choice for migrating 70 TB of data.
