Question

An administrator is configuring a new server for use as a database server. It will have two mirrored drives to hold the operating system, and there will be three drive bays remaining for storage. Which of the following RAID levels will yield the BEST combination of available space and redundancy?

Options

  • ARAID 0
  • BRAID 1
  • CRAID 5
  • DRAID 10

Explanation

The RAID level that will yield the best combination of available space and redundancy, given the setup with two mirrored drives for the operating system and three remaining drive bays for storage, is RAID 5. RAID 5 provides a good balance of redundancy and storage efficiency. It uses striping with distributed parity, which means that data and parity information are spread across all the drives. With three drive bays, RAID 5 will provide redundancy (protection against a single drive failure) while maximizing usable storage space.
