C. RAID 0Explanation
RAID 0 is the level of RAID that is striping. In RAID 0, data is striped across multiple drives, dividing it into blocks and distributing them evenly. This improves performance as data can be read and written simultaneously from multiple drives. However, RAID 0 does not provide any fault tolerance, as there is no redundancy. If one drive fails, all the data on that drive is lost. Therefore, RAID 0 is primarily used for applications that require high performance and do not require data redundancy or fault tolerance.Rate this question:

What level of RAID is mirroring?
- A.
RAID 0
- B.
RAID 5
- C.
RAID 1
- D.
RAID 2
Correct Answer
C. RAID 1Explanation
RAID 1 is the level of RAID that involves mirroring. In RAID 1, data is duplicated across multiple drives, creating an exact copy or mirror of the data. This provides redundancy and improves data availability, as if one drive fails, the data can still be accessed from the mirrored drive. RAID 1 is commonly used for critical applications that require high levels of data protection and availability.Rate this question:

What RAID level is mirrored with parity so that if one drive fails the data can be rebuilt?
- A.
RAID 0
- B.
RAID 1
- C.
RAID 3
- D.
RAID 5
- E.
No such RAID exists
Correct Answer
D. RAID 5Explanation
RAID 5 is the correct answer because it uses both striping and parity. In RAID 5, data is striped across multiple drives and parity information is also distributed across the drives. This means that if one drive fails, the data can be rebuilt using the parity information from the remaining drives. RAID 0 does not have any redundancy, RAID 1 is a simple mirroring without parity, RAID 3 uses dedicated parity drive, and no such RAID level exists is not a valid option.Rate this question:
