Why each option
RAID 5 is the version of RAID that typically uses a minimum of three disks and can support up to 32 disks, providing data striping with distributed parity.
RAID 0 requires a minimum of two disks and offers no redundancy, focusing solely on performance through data striping.
RAID 1 requires exactly two disks for mirroring, where data is duplicated across both disks for full redundancy.
RAID 5 requires a minimum of three disks to implement striping with distributed parity, which allows for data recovery from a single disk failure. While there is no strict upper limit, 32 disks is a common practical maximum cited, as larger arrays might use different RAID levels or combinations for better performance or redundancy.
RAID 10 (or 1+0) requires a minimum of four disks, consisting of two mirrored pairs that are then striped together.
