Difficulty: EasyStorage Devices and Interfaces

Match each storage technology or interface with its primary operational characteristic.

  • NVMe M.2 SSDUtilizes the high-speed PCIe bus to achieve transfer speeds exceeding 3,000 MB/s.
  • SATA III SSDConnects via a 6 Gbps bus interface limited to a maximum throughput of 600 MB/s.
  • SAS DriveEnterprise storage drive interface offering dual-port capabilities for redundancy in servers.
  • eMMC StorageFlash storage soldered directly onto the motherboard of low-cost mobile devices.

Answer

NVMe M.2 SSD pairs with PCIe bus communication exceeding 3,000 MB/s; SATA III SSD pairs with 6 Gbps bus limited to 600 MB/s throughput; SAS Drive pairs with enterprise interface offering dual-port capabilities; eMMC Storage pairs with flash storage soldered directly onto the motherboard.
Each drive interface is accurately matched with its throughput ceiling, bus architecture, target deployment context, or physical implementation method.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the high-performance desktop SSD standard.
NVMe M.2 SSD uses PCIe lanes to provide extremely high bandwidth.
NVMe is engineered specifically for solid-state storage operating over PCIe lanes.
2
Identify standard legacy client SSD throughput capabilities.
SATA III operates at 6 Gbps maximum bandwidth (600 MB/s theoretical throughput).
SATA III is limited by legacy controller architecture.
3
Differentiate enterprise server drive interfaces.
SAS supports dual-port cabling for server fault tolerance.
SAS drives are built for high availability and enterprise multi-pathing.
4
Identify low-power embedded storage form factors.
eMMC is soldered directly to the system circuit board.
eMMC uses a compact controller and NAND flash package for budget systems.

Key Concept

Distinguish storage drive interfaces, speeds, bus types, and form factors.
