CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 13

About one week ago, access to files on a network server became significantly slower. Today, network files are completely unavailable. A technician is able to make a remote connection to the server. Which of the following should the technician check NEXT?

Answer options

• A. RAID 5 array
• B. NIC configuration
• C. Available storage space
• D. RAM utilization

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as issues with the RAID 5 array could lead to file access problems and complete unavailability. Checking the NIC configuration (B) and available storage space (C) are important, but they are less likely to be the immediate cause of the current access issues. RAM utilization (D) is also a consideration, but it typically wouldn't cause files to be entirely unavailable.
