CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 226

The accounting department needs more storage and wants to retain the current data for quick read-write access. The accounting server does not have any internal drive bays available to keep both disks; however, the server does have USB 3.0 and eSATA ports available. Which of the following is the best way to accomplish the department's goals?

Answer options

• A. Copy the existing data to an external USB 3.0 enclosure.
• B. Place the existing data on a DVD and use the internal DVD-ROM drive.
• C. Transfer the existing data to an external eSATA enclosure.
• D. Move the existing data to a new, larger internal hard drive.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because eSATA provides faster data transfer rates compared to USB 3.0, making it more suitable for quick read-write access. Option A, while feasible, may not provide the best performance. Option B is impractical due to the slower access speeds of DVDs, and option D is not possible since there are no internal drive bays available.
