CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 88

A company wants to have fast read speeds for its locally stored data. Which of the following configurations has the lowest cost to fulfill this requirement?

Answer options

• A. RAID 0
• B. RAID 1
• C. RAID 5
• D. RAID 10

Correct answer: A

Explanation

RAID 0 provides the fastest read speeds because it stripes data across multiple disks, allowing simultaneous access, and it does not have any overhead for redundancy. In contrast, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 involve some level of redundancy, which can reduce performance and increase costs due to the need for additional disks.
