CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 331

A server administrator is deploying a new server that has two hard drives on which to install the OS. Which of the following RAID configurations should be used to provide redundancy for the OS?

Answer options

• A. RAID 0
• B. RAID 1
• C. RAID 5
• D. RAID 6

Correct answer: B

Explanation

RAID 1 is the correct choice because it mirrors data across both drives, providing redundancy in case one drive fails. RAID 0 offers no redundancy as it stripes data across drives, while RAID 5 and RAID 6 require a minimum of three and four drives respectively to function, making them unsuitable for this scenario.
