A technician is assigned a task to configure a new server with six hard drives. The senior administrator requested the technician utilize the drives for maximum fault tolerance. Which of the…

RAID 3 uses byte-level striping with a single dedicated parity disk and can only tolerate the failure of one drive, making it far less fault-tolerant than RAID 10.

RAID 5 distributes parity across all drives but can only tolerate a single drive failure; a second concurrent failure before rebuild completes results in data loss.

RAID 10 (also called RAID 1+0) mirrors drives into pairs first, then stripes across those pairs. With six drives, three mirror pairs are created, and the array can survive the loss of one drive per pair - potentially three simultaneous failures - without data loss. This makes RAID 10 the configuration offering maximum fault tolerance when multiple drives are available.

RAID 0 uses only striping with no redundancy or parity and provides zero fault tolerance - any single drive failure causes complete data loss.
