Reply To: Magnetic EBS volumes are no longer a thing

[TutorialsDojo-Support]

Hi nathan-cho,

Thanks for the feedback.

The question for the practice tests is created based on the topics on the exam guide from AWS.

https://d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-sa-assoc/AWS-Certified-Solutions-Architect-Associate_Exam-Guide.pdf

These topics include EBS and the different EBS volume types which include the SSD and HDD (magnetic storage types). The goal of this particular question is not to encourage you to use Magnetic EBS volumes on your EC2 instances but rather to evaluate your understanding of the different EBS volume types and their particular use cases. For AWS Exam takers it is important to know the concepts and choose the correct EBS volume type depending on the given situation.

That’s why the question asks which of the following statements are true about EBS volumes.

For more information for EBS types and their use cases see this link:

Thanks and regards,
