Which of the following is an advantage of RAID 0?

The correct answer is C. Speed. The primary advantage of RAID 0 is its enhanced speed, as data is striped across multiple disks, allowing for parallel read and write operations.

Why each option

The primary advantage of RAID 0 is its enhanced speed, as data is striped across multiple disks, allowing for parallel read and write operations.

AMirrors data

RAID 0 does not mirror data; mirroring is a feature of RAID 1, which duplicates data across drives.

BRedundancy

RAID 0 provides no data redundancy; if any drive in a RAID 0 array fails, all data in the array is lost.

CSpeedCorrect

RAID 0, also known as striping, splits data into blocks and writes them across multiple hard drives simultaneously. This parallel writing and reading significantly increases the input/output (I/O) performance and overall speed of the storage system compared to a single drive.

DAutomatic hot spare

Automatic hot spare is a feature typically found in RAID levels like RAID 5 or RAID 6, where a spare drive automatically takes over when an active drive fails, which is not applicable to RAID 0.
