A hardware compatibility list recommends striping with double parity as storage for an application. In a test environment, a technician realized that a different RAID level can be used to compensate for a limited number of available disks. Which of the following is the closest RAID level the technician should deploy while minimizing the number of disks and maintaining fault tolerance.

Heather Downs · Answer 1

RAID level 5 can be used to compensate a limited number of available disks.

Explanation:

There are two type of RAID

Software RAID Hardware RAID

Software RAID

deliver services form the host.

Hardware RAID

provides hardware services.

RAID has levels

0, 1, 5, 6, and 10

RAID 0, 1, and 5 work on both HDD and SSD media,

4 and 6 also work on both media.

RAID 0 : Striping

In this level minimum of two disks, RAID 0 split the file strip the data. Multiple hard drive are used to split the data.

RAID 1 : Mirroring

In this level Minimum two disk require and provide data tendency.

RAID 5 : Stripping with parity

Parity is a binary data. RAID system calculate the value which system used to recover the data.

Most RAID system with parity function store parity blocks.

RAID 5 combines the performance of RAID 0 with redundancy of RAID 1.

RAID 5 level should minimize the fault tolerance.
