Question

An AI infrastructure team is configuring a new DGX H100 system. They notice it ships with two types of internal NVMe storage: a smaller mirrored pair intended for the operating system and a larger set of drives configured as a RAID 0 volume. A data scientist asks which internal storage the RAID 0 volume is intended for. What is the correct guidance?

Accepted Answer

The RAID 0 volume is high-speed local scratch space for staging active datasets and cache, prioritizing throughput over redundancy

Answer

The RAID 0 volume is the primary boot and OS drive because mirroring the OS would waste capacity

Answer

The RAID 0 volume is meant for long-term archival of completed training datasets and should be backed up daily

Answer

The RAID 0 volume should host the only copy of critical model checkpoints since RAID protects against drive failure
