GSLC · Question #518

Which method is used to configure several disk drives into a logical disk drive and provides faulttolerance, redundancy, lower latency, and higher bandwidth for read/write operations?

The correct answer is C. RAID. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) combines multiple physical drives into a single logical unit to provide fault tolerance, redundancy, and improved I/O performance.

Why each option

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) combines multiple physical drives into a single logical unit to provide fault tolerance, redundancy, and improved I/O performance.

ADRM

DRM (Digital Rights Management) is a content protection and licensing technology, not a disk management or storage configuration method.

BDAC

DAC (Discretionary Access Control) is an access control security model that governs resource permissions based on user identity, not disk drive configuration.

CRAIDCorrect

RAID is the technology specifically designed to stripe, mirror, or combine disk drives into a logical volume, offering fault tolerance through redundancy and performance gains via parallel read/write operations across multiple spindles. Different RAID levels (0, 1, 5, 6, 10) balance these goals differently, but all meet the core definition in the question.

DMAC

MAC (Mandatory Access Control) is a security policy model that enforces access based on classification labels, completely unrelated to disk drive configuration or storage performance.
