CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 119

A storage server with three drives was reporting errors indicating the array was in degraded mode, but the stored files were still accessible. A technician went to the server room to troubleshoot the error message. Which of the following RAID configurations did the technician MOST likely find?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

RAID 5 is designed to tolerate the failure of one drive while still allowing access to the data, which aligns with the situation described. RAID 0 does not provide redundancy, so it wouldn't allow for degraded mode with accessible files. RAID 1 offers mirroring but would not typically report in degraded mode with three drives. RAID 10 requires a minimum of four drives to function properly.
