• Performance – Lowers the thresholds for moving data to faster tiers and raises the thresholds
for moving data to slower tiers. This makes it more likely that data will move to the faster
tiers.

• Cost – Moves more data to the low-performance, less expensive tier.

as a RAID 1 SSD disk.

as a RAID 5 NL disk.
