Which two VSP systems support attached Drive Box Flash (DBF)? (Choose two.)

Explanation

VSP F700 (C) and VSP G900 (D) support attached Drive Box Flash because they are the larger, higher-capacity models in the VSP F and G product lines, designed to scale with NVMe-based flash expansion. The DBF enclosure is specifically supported on these platforms as part of their all-flash and hybrid-flash scaling architecture.

The VSP E590 (A) is part of the entry-level E series, which has a more constrained expansion ecosystem and does not support DBF attachment. The VSP F370 (B), while in the F series like the F700, is a lower-tier model with limited scalability that does not qualify for DBF support - only the larger F700 and above carry that capability.

Memory tip: Associate DBF with the "bigger siblings" - in the F line it's the 700, not the 3xx; and in the G line it's the 900. Think "F7 and G9 = Flash Box go!" The E series is entirely excluded from DBF regardless of model number.
