SK0-003 · Question #705

Which of the following will allow for the GREATEST amount of memory failure while still allowing the server to operate?

The correct answer is D. RAID. RAID provides fault tolerance for data storage, enabling a server to continue operating even after significant failures of its storage drives, which store essential system and user data.

Why each option

RAID provides fault tolerance for data storage, enabling a server to continue operating even after significant failures of its storage drives, which store essential system and user data.

ADDR3

DDR3 is a type of volatile memory technology and does not inherently provide fault tolerance against memory failures.

BMemory pairing

Memory pairing (or mirroring) provides redundancy for volatile RAM, typically allowing for the failure of one set of mirrored modules, which is a lower 'amount' of component failure tolerance compared to multi-drive RAID arrays.

CECC

ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory detects and corrects single-bit errors in RAM and detects (but usually cannot correct) multi-bit errors, but it does not allow the server to operate with a 'great amount' of physical memory module failures.

DRAIDCorrect

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) protects against the failure of multiple storage drives, which serve as persistent memory for data, allowing the server to continue operating and providing access to its stored information. Depending on the RAID level (e.g., RAID 6), a system can tolerate the failure of two or more disk components, representing a substantial amount of data 'memory' component failure while maintaining system functionality.
