This read-create StorageType object records whether this row's configuration on the STI High Performance Card is stored as volatile, nonvolatile, or another standard SNMP row-storage category. Admins care because a row marked nonvolatile survives a card reboot, while a volatile row's configuration — such as one created for the STI High Performance Card through a manual SNMP SET — is lost and has to be recreated afterward. After manually provisioning an STI High Performance Card entry via createAndGo, an admin would check this OID to confirm the row was saved as nonvolatile before relying on it to persist through the card's next reboot.
