CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 104

A junior administrator needs to configure a single RAID 5 volume out of four 200GB drives attached to the server using the maximum possible capacity. Upon completion, the server reports that all drives were used, and the approximate volume size is 400GB.

Which of the following BEST describes the result of this configuration?

Answer options

• A. RAID 0 was configured by mistake.
• B. RAID 5 was configured properly.
• C. JBOD was configured by mistake.
• D. RAID 10 was configured by mistake.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The approximate volume size of 400GB indicates that the configuration did not use RAID 5 correctly, as it should have provided a volume size closer to 600GB with four 200GB drives. The configuration most likely resulted in RAID 10, which uses half of the total capacity for mirroring, hence explaining the 400GB size.
