A newly established CSP allows for drive shipping to upload new data into the environment. Sensitive data on 40TB of storage needs to be transferred within one week. Which of the following is the MOST

Transferring 40TB over a typical VPN connection would be too slow to meet the one-week deadline and could still cause network congestion, making it inefficient.

While copying data to encrypted drives is secure, 'copying' implies the original data remains, which doesn't directly address freeing up the original source, and 'moving' is more aligned with migrating the data entirely.

Even with compression, uploading 40TB via SFTP over a network connection is unlikely to meet the one-week deadline due to typical bandwidth limitations and would be less efficient than physical shipment.

Moving 40TB of sensitive data to encrypted drives for shipment is the most efficient method for a large volume within a one-week timeframe, as physical data transfer speeds are generally superior to network uploads, and encryption along with a CSP-certified shipper ensures data security and integrity during transit.
