Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 27

This question requires that you evaluate the underlined text to determine if it is correct.
You install three 600GB hard disks in a computer running Windows Server 2016 Standard edition. You need to configure at least 1TB of fault-tolerant storage from the hard disks.
You configure that hard disks as a RAID 5 configuration.
Review the underlined text. If it makes the statement correct, select "No change is needed". If the statement is incorrect, select the answer choice that makes the statement correct.

Answer options

• A. RAID 0
• B. RAID 1
• C. RAID 10
• D. No change is needed

Correct answer: C

Explanation

RAID 5 requires a minimum of three disks and provides fault tolerance, but it can only offer a total usable capacity of 1.2TB (600GB * (3-1)). To achieve at least 1TB of fault-tolerant storage, RAID 10 is the correct configuration here, as it combines mirroring and striping, providing both redundancy and sufficient storage capacity. The other RAID configurations listed do not meet the requirement for at least 1TB of fault-tolerant storage with the given drives.
