CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 56

Joe, a user, wants his desktop RAID configured to allow the fastest speed and the most storage capacity. His desktop has three hard drives. Which of the following RAID types should a technician configure to achieve this?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

RAID 0 offers the best performance and maximum storage capacity by striping data across all drives without redundancy, making it the ideal choice for Joe's needs. RAID 1 provides redundancy at the cost of usable capacity, RAID 5 requires at least three drives but includes parity for fault tolerance, and RAID 10 combines mirroring and striping, which also reduces available capacity.
