What is an accurate statement in reference to software RAID?

Answer options

• A. Software RAID does not have any data integrity issues
• B. Software RAID requires a hardware license
• C. Software RAID is an additional cost
• D. Software RAID uses CPU resources

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because software RAID relies on the server's CPU to perform operations, which can impact performance. Option A is incorrect since software RAID can experience data integrity issues under certain conditions. Options B and C are also wrong, as software RAID typically does not require a hardware license and does not inherently incur additional costs beyond the existing hardware.
