Dell EMC Associate – PowerEdge Server Specialist — Question 65

A customer created a RAID 6 volume using 4x 600GB disks. How much usable disk space is available?

Answer options

• A. 600GB
• B. 1.2TB
• C. 1.8TB
• D. 2.4TB

Correct answer: B

Explanation

In a RAID 6 configuration, two disks worth of space are used for parity, leaving the usable space as (number of disks - 2) times the size of the smallest disk. Therefore, with four 600GB disks, the usable space is (4-2) * 600GB = 1.2TB. The other options either miscalculate the usable space or do not account for the RAID 6 overhead correctly.
