Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 310

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, especially with RAID 0, data is stripped across multiple disks without redundancy, leading to differences in images when captured at different levels. Options A and B are incorrect as RAID 1 mirrors data, ensuring identical images, while RAID 0's approach results in variations depending on how the data is accessed. Option C does not directly address the question about image differences.
