Explanation

Cisco HyperFlex Hybrid storage configuration combines solid-state drives (SSDs) used as a read/write cache with traditional spinning hard disk drives (HDDs) for bulk capacity. This architecture delivers a lower cost per terabyte compared to All-Flash or All-NVMe configurations because HDDs are significantly cheaper per gigabyte than flash storage. For a virtual environment that is not performance-sensitive, the HDD-based capacity tier is sufficient for workload throughput requirements. All-Flash and All-NVMe configurations optimize for maximum IOPS and lowest latency but at a much higher cost, making them inappropriate when the priority is high capacity at low cost.
