An organization plans to implement a new vSAN 8.0 cluster to take advantage of the new features around improved I/O flow, better resiliency, and more efficient disk usage. The vSAN ReadyNodes available for the cluster consist of eight NVMe disks.
How should the organization configure the disk layout?
To take advantage of the new features in vSAN 8.0 such as improved I/O flow, better resiliency, and more efficient disk usage, the organization should use vSAN ESA (Express Storage Architecture) and the new Storage pool configuration where all disks contribute to capacity. This configuration allows all the NVMe disks to be fully utilized for capacity rather than designating some disks solely for caching, which maximizes efficiency and resiliency.
B. Use vSAN ESA (Erasure Coding Storage Architecture) and the new Storage pool configuration where all disks contribute to capacity. In vSAN ESA with the new Storage pool configuration, all disks, including NVMe disks, contribute to capacity. This provides a more efficient use of storage resources and better resiliency compared to other configurations.

B -correct, no need cache disk with ESA

B. ESA does not use disk groups. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/90343#:~:text=Q%3A%2D%20Are%20there%20specific,be%201.6%20TB%20or%20above.
B- ESA no need cache disk, all disk capacity
