A server administrator has been asked to build an array for a low performance application. The array must support hot-swaps and automatic rebuilds with minimal performance degradation during array reb

Striping with no parity (RAID 0) offers no fault tolerance and therefore does not support automatic rebuilds or protect against disk failure, making it unsuitable for data protection.

Independent disks with dual parity (RAID 6) requires a minimum of four disks to implement (N+2 parity drives), so it cannot be built with only three disks.

Bit-level striping with parity, commonly known as RAID 3, is suitable for an array with three disks (two for data and one for parity). This configuration provides fault tolerance against a single disk failure and, depending on the controller implementation, can manage rebuilds with less performance impact for specific workloads compared to distributed parity arrays.

Striping with mirroring (RAID 0+1 or RAID 10) requires a minimum of four disks to implement, making it impossible to build with only three disks.
