Which of the following should be factored into the decision regarding storage when planning a new database? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is D. Speed E. Size. Speed (D) and Size (E) are the two critical storage factors when planning a new database. Speed determines how quickly data can be read/written - HDD vs. SSD vs. NVMe directly impacts query performance and throughput. Size determines how much data the storage medium can hold…

Explanation
Speed (D) and Size (E) are the two critical storage factors when planning a new database. Speed determines how quickly data can be read/written - HDD vs. SSD vs. NVMe directly impacts query performance and throughput. Size determines how much data the storage medium can hold, which must account for current data volume plus projected growth.
Why the others are wrong:
- A (RAM) and F (CPU cores) are compute/memory resources, not storage components - they affect processing performance, not storage planning.
- B (Database compatibility) relates to software selection, not physical storage decisions.
- C (Popularity) is irrelevant to any technical planning consideration.
Memory tip: Think of storage planning as answering two questions: "How fast?" (Speed) and "How much?" (Size) - everything else belongs to a different planning category (compute, software, or marketing).
