What is the default I/O latency threshold for vSphere Storage DRS?

The correct answer is C. 15ms. vSphere Storage DRS defaults to a 15ms I/O latency threshold to trigger datastore load-balancing recommendations within a datastore cluster.

Why each option

vSphere Storage DRS defaults to a 15ms I/O latency threshold to trigger datastore load-balancing recommendations within a datastore cluster.

A10ms

10ms is too aggressive and is not the default; it would trigger migrations under normal, healthy I/O conditions.

B30ms

30ms is well above the default and would allow datastores to sustain high latency before Storage DRS reacts.

C15msCorrect

15ms is the factory-default I/O latency threshold for Storage DRS. When the average device latency on a datastore exceeds this value, Storage DRS evaluates the cluster and generates recommendations or automatically migrates VMDKs to less-loaded datastores. This value balances sensitivity with stability, avoiding excessive churn while still reacting to meaningful congestion.

D20ms

20ms is not the configured default threshold in vSphere Storage DRS, even though it may seem reasonable.
