D is the correct answer. SATA would not be used on a server because its not server grade storage

I agree with Dion79... going with SD card. Specifically because the questions states that the server has sd card slot available, in that case, these are there FOR THAT PARTICULAR PURPOSE... see: https://serverfault.com/questions/823791/what-is-the-use-case-of-a-sd-slot-on-motherboard

I agree with Dion79... going with SD card. An SD card is an ideal choice for installing a Type 1 hypervisor because. It provides a dedicated, local boot device for the hypervisor. It separates the hypervisor from the main storage, allowing for easier management and upgrades. Many enterprise-grade servers come with internal SD card slots specifically designed for hypervisor installation. While SATA or SAS drives could technically be used, they are better suited for VM storage and data. The NAS drive is not a suitable option for a Type 1 hypervisor installation, as it's not directly attached to the server hardware and could introduce performance and reliability issues

Option D SAS DRIVE is the correct answer. The question clearly says that "On which of the following drive types should the technician install the hypervisor?". SD card is not a drive type and it is not normally used as source to run an OS. Running a Type 1 hypervisor on an SD card in a production environment is not ideal. They can be used to host a lightweight embedded system.

C is the correct answer. In many common environments, a hypervisor can be run on SATA without any problems. Hypervisors themselves usually do not require large storage capacities or extreme speeds, so SATA drives are often sufficient.

It is D, if they said it had SD card slots with SD cards installed it would be A but it has a SAS controller attached to a NAS and empty SD cards so you use SAS.

For installing a Type 1 hypervisor on a server, the technician should install it on: A. SD card Explanation: Installing the hypervisor on an SD card is a common practice for Type 1 hypervisors. SD cards offer a convenient and cost-effective solution for booting the hypervisor directly from the server hardware. This approach allows for efficient utilization of internal storage resources while keeping the hypervisor separate from the storage used for virtual machines.

A & D are both possible answers. All components described in this example are internal. Assuming SD Slots are internal. If so, then Internal SD Slots are recommended. "The Internal SanDisk (SD) slots remain enabled because the ESXI hypervisor runs on dual SD cards inside the server chassis".
