which share a quorum disk are suspended, regardless of the failure locations,
as shown below.

Response time from the external storage system
If the response time from the external storage system for quorum disks is
delayed for more than one second, GAD pairs might be suspended by some
failures. Monitor regularly the response time of the quorum disks using
Performance Monitor from the primary storage system or secondary storage
