Why each option
To achieve maximum storage space with four disks without requiring fault tolerance, RAID 0 should be configured.
RAID 0, also known as disk striping, combines all available disk space into a single logical volume by striping data across all disks. Since no redundancy is used for fault tolerance, the entire capacity of all four disks is utilized for storage, maximizing the total available space.
RAID 1 (mirroring) uses half of the total disk capacity for redundancy, which does not provide maximum space.
RAID 5 uses the capacity equivalent of one disk for parity information, reducing the total available storage space.
RAID 10 combines mirroring and striping, resulting in 50% of the total disk capacity being used for redundancy, not maximizing space.
