Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 162

You are configuring a RAID 5 solution on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2. You are using five 750GB hard drives in the RAID array. How much free space will you get after configuring the RAID 5 solution?

Answer options

• A. 2,250
• B. 1,500
• C. 3,000
• D. 3,750

Correct answer: C

Explanation

In a RAID 5 configuration, the total usable storage is calculated by taking the total capacity of all drives minus the capacity of one drive. With five 750GB drives, the total capacity is 3,750GB, and after reserving one drive's worth of space (750GB), you get 3,000GB of usable space. Options A, B, and D do not correctly account for the RAID 5 overhead.
