Given three hard drives, which of the following RAID levels would provide fault tolerance and the MAXIMUM amount of capacity?

RAID 0 concatenates drives to provide maximum capacity (100% of raw capacity) and performance, but it offers no fault tolerance; if any drive fails, all data is lost.

RAID 1 (mirroring) requires a minimum of two drives. With three drives, it would typically mirror one drive to another, offering fault tolerance but only using 50% of the total raw capacity, or could create multiple RAID 1 arrays, which does not fit the criterion of maximum capacity for a single fault-tolerant volume.

RAID 5 requires a minimum of three drives and provides fault tolerance by distributing parity information across all drives. With three drives, it uses the capacity of two drives for data and one drive's worth of space for parity, utilizing 66% of the total raw capacity, which is the maximum capacity possible with fault tolerance for three drives.

RAID 1+0 (or RAID 10) requires a minimum of four drives to combine mirroring and striping, making it impossible to implement with only three drives.
