CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 161
A technician is building a new computer for a customer. The computer must use an ITX-sized motherboard and have a RAID 5 array with all drives using the same interface. Which of the following drive types will the technician MOST likely utilize?
Answer options
- A. SCSI
- B. PCIe
- C. NVMe
- D. SATA
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D, SATA, as it is commonly used for consumer-grade motherboards and supports RAID configurations effectively. SCSI is typically used in enterprise environments, while PCIe and NVMe are more suited for high-performance applications and may not be compatible with a standard ITX setup focused on RAID 5.
