CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 252
A server administrator is building a new application server. Which of the following RAID levels provides MAXIMUM performance and redundancy?
Answer options
- A. RAID 0
- B. RAID 1
- C. RAID 5
- D. RAID 10
Correct answer: D
Explanation
RAID 10 combines the benefits of RAID 0 and RAID 1, delivering both high performance and redundancy through striping and mirroring. RAID 0 offers no redundancy, RAID 1 provides redundancy but lacks the performance benefits of striping, and RAID 5 has good performance but is not as fast as RAID 10 due to the overhead of parity calculations.
