Is it still running?



You need to design a drive array that will continue to operate if any drive fails. Which RAID types fit this requirement? Pick two.

A) RAID 0

B) RAID 1

C) RAID 5

D) RAID 1+1

E) RAIDers of the Lost Ark


The answers: B) RAID 1 and C) RAID 5

RAID 0, or striping, provides high performance but a single drive failure breaks the array. RAID 1 and RAID 5 both continue to operate, even if a single drive fails.

RAID arrays are common ways to provide high-throughput and redundancy for groups of hard drives. In this module, you’ll learn how the different RAID technologies can be used to build large-scale storage infrastructures. You’ll also learn the advantages and disadvantages of the different RAID technologies and how hardware and software RAID compares.
