An infrastructure architect is submitting a proposal for a vSAN Cluster.
These are the customer's requirements: -> Maximize the amount of usable capacity.
-> Deduplication and compression will be enabled to help maximize usable capacity.

To design a vSAN cluster that meets the customer's requirements of maximizing usable capacity and enabling deduplication and compression, the infrastructure architect must consider the disk group configuration. The disk group is the unit of capacity consumption in vSAN, consisting of flash devices for cache and magnetic or flash devices for capacity.
Option A suggests a single disk group with one flash device for cache and six flash devices for capacity. This configuration may provide high performance for read/write operations due to the use of flash devices but may not be the most cost-effective solution as flash devices are typically more expensive than magnetic devices.
Option B recommends three disk groups with one flash device for cache and two flash devices for capacity per disk group. This configuration may provide a balance between cost and performance, as it allows for redundancy and high performance while minimizing the number of flash devices required.
Option C proposes five disk groups with one flash device for cache and one magnetic device for capacity per disk group. This configuration may offer the most cost-effective solution, as magnetic devices are typically less expensive than flash devices. However, it may not provide the same level of performance as configurations that use flash devices for capacity.
Option D suggests a single disk group with one flash device for cache and six magnetic devices for capacity. This configuration may offer the lowest cost option but may not provide high performance for read/write operations, as magnetic devices typically have slower read/write speeds than flash devices.
Therefore, option B with three disk groups with one flash device for cache and two flash devices for capacity per disk group is likely the best configuration for the customer's requirements of maximizing usable capacity while enabling deduplication and compression. It balances performance and cost-effectiveness, providing redundancy and high performance while minimizing the number of expensive flash devices required.
