Level 1 Unit Review: Storage Management

an empty folder on the existing volume that points to another partition. Data saved to the folder is physically saved on the referenced partition.

This will add unallocated disk space to the volume.

This is technology that allows you to pool space from multiple disk drives (or other storage devices) to create one or more logical drives.

The logical drives are displayed in File Explorer for storing data and other user files.

Appears to the user as one drive regardless of the number of disks or devices contributing space to the storage pool.

This is a logical concept composed of the free space available on the specified storage devices.

This allows you to allocate larger storage spaces than the disk space available in the pool.

What Windows utility is used to initialize a drive?

This indicates whether a drive is available or not.

A type of resiliency that writes to two storage devices and requires at least two storage devices. This option protects you from a single storage device failure.

• Storage space

  
  

• Two-way mirror resiliency

• Three-way mirror resiliency

A type of resiliency that writes to three storage devices and requires at least five storage devices. This option provides redundancy for the data if two storage devices fail at one time.

• Two-way mirror resiliency

• Parity resiliency

• Three-way mirror resiliency

A type of resiliency that writes parity information across the physical disks using bitwise arithmetic. It requires that you have at least three storage devices and provides fault tolerance against only one failure at a time.
