A technician is configuring a server with eight available drive bays. The technician wants a combination of the most redundancy and the maximum available storage. Which of the following RAID levels…

The correct answer is C. 6. RAID 6 provides excellent redundancy by using dual parity, which allows for the failure of up to two drives without data loss. With eight drives in RAID 6, the usable capacity is calculated as N- 2N - 2N-2 (where NNN is the total number of drives). Thus, with eight drives, the…

Explanation

RAID 6 provides excellent redundancy by using dual parity, which allows for the failure of up to two drives without data loss. With eight drives in RAID 6, the usable capacity is calculated as N- 2N - 2N-2 (where NNN is the total number of drives). Thus, with eight drives, the usable storage would be six drives' worth of capacity. This provides a good balance between redundancy and
