HPE Virtual Connect Solutions v4 — Question 50

You are reviewing a series of MSA2052 storage designs for a customer's remote locations. Their largest remote site requires the highest possible level of internal data protection with at least 20 TB of storage.
Which disk drive design is adequate for this site?

Answer options

• A. 14 HPE MSA 2 TB drives, configured with RAID1
• B. 8 HPE MSA 2 TB drives, configured with RAID5
• C. 10 HPE MSA 2 TB drives, configured with RAID0
• D. 12 HPE MSA 2 TB drives, configured with RAID6

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Answer D is correct because RAID6 provides a high level of data protection by allowing for the failure of two drives, which is essential for the site's requirements. Option A only provides RAID1, which does not meet the capacity needs; option B's RAID5 can only tolerate one drive failure; and option C's RAID0 offers no redundancy, making it inadequate for internal data protection.
