Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) — Question 43

In which implementation of RAID will the image of a Hardware RAID volume be different from the image taken separately from the disks?

Answer options

• A. RAID 1
• B. The images will always be identical because data is mirrored for redundancy
• C. RAID 0
• D. It will always be different

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because in certain RAID configurations, particularly RAID 0, the data is striped across the disks without redundancy, leading to discrepancies between the Hardware RAID volume and the individual disk images. Options A and B are incorrect as RAID 1 uses mirroring, which keeps the images identical, and RAID 0 does not provide any redundancy, making option C also incorrect.
