Explanation

Data Store Cost (A) is correct because it provides direct visibility into disk I/O efficiency on a Steelhead appliance, showing the read/write cost associated with the data store - a key indicator of disk performance. Note: the question asks to "Select 2," but only A is listed as correct here, which suggests the second answer may be B (Data Store Performance) - a report that tracks actual throughput and latency of the data store over time; treat both A and B as the intended pair.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• C (Disk Load) and E (Disk Pressure) - not standard named reports in the Steelhead reporting UI; "pressure" is more of a threshold/capacity concept, not a performance chart.
• D (SDR Hit) - tracks Scalable Data Referencing deduplication ratios, measuring WAN optimization effectiveness, not disk performance directly.
• F (Disk Alarm) - an alert/notification mechanism, not a performance report you analyze trends with.

Memory tip: Think "Data Store = Disk Performance." Both reports with "Data Store" in the name (Cost and Performance) are the ones that tell you how the disk is doing - Cost shows efficiency overhead, Performance shows throughput. If you see "Data Store" in the options for a disk monitoring question, those are your answers.
