  • Which RAID uses striping for enhance performance and parity for redundancy?
  • What is the minimum number of drives required?
  • RAID 5
  • 3 drives.
56.
  • Which RAID uses striping for enhancing performance and mirroring for redundancy?
  • What is the minimum number of drives required?
  • RAID 10
  • 4 drives
57.
  • Which RAID uses mirroring for redundancy but offers no performance enhancements?
  • What is the minimum number of drives required?
  • RAID 1
  • 2 drives
58.
  • Which RAID uses striping for enhancing performance but offers no redundancy?
  • What is the minimum number of drives required?
  • RAID 0
  • 2 drives
59.

How many drives can fail and still survive with RAID 1?

One drive can fail. Because both drives contain mirrored data.

60.

How many drives can fail and still survive with RAID 0?

None, if one drive fails all data is lost since data is split between 2 drives.

61.

How many drives can fail and still survive with RAID 10?

One drive per pair can fail. If both drives in the same pair fail, all data is lost. So 2 drives can fail as long as one drive is from Pair A, and the other Pair B.

Drive 1 mirrors Drive 2 = Pair A

Drive 3 mirrors Drive 4 = Pair B

62.

How many drives can fail and still survive with RAID 5?

One drive can fail. Any two of the three drives have enough clues to reconstruct the data for the failed drive. Parity is just accurate clues that help reconstruct data.

63.

RAID 10 has 8 drives, 1TB each, how much data can be stored?

4TB (50%)

64.

RAID 1 has 2 drives, 1TB each, how much data can be stored?

1 TB (50%)

65.

RAID 0 has 2 drives, 1TB each, how much data can be stored?

2 TB (100%)

66.

RAID 5 has 6 drives, 1TB each, how much data can be stored?

4TB. (66% or 2/3rds)
