Why each option

The NetApp Virtual Storage Tier (VST) consists of three flash-based caching technologies operating at different layers: host, controller, and aggregate.

AFlash AccelCorrect

Flash Accel is a host-side PCIe flash card that provides read and write caching at the server layer within the VST framework.

BFlash CacheCorrect

Flash Cache is a controller-side intelligent read cache module (PAM II) that accelerates random read workloads at the storage controller layer.

CFlash Disk

Flash Disk is not a named VST component; while flash disks are used inside Flash Pool aggregates, they are not a distinct VST tier.

DFlash IO

Flash IO is not a recognized NetApp product or component within the Virtual Storage Tier architecture.

EFlash PoolCorrect

Flash Pool is an aggregate-level hybrid tier that combines SSDs with HDDs within a single aggregate to provide caching and storage in one construct.
