10.6.6 TestOut RAID Systems Quiz

What does RAID stand for in computer systems?

• Random Array of Independent Disks

• Redundant Array of Independent Disks

• Rapid Array of Inexpensive Disks

• Reliable Array of Integrated Disks

What is the primary advantage of using a RAID system?

• To increase the cost of storage

• To decrease the data storage capacity

• To avoid data loss and improve system performance

• To simplify data management

When was RAID first implemented?

• In the early 1990s

• In the late 1980s

• In the mid-1970s

• In the early 2000s

What is the goal of stacking arrays in different ways in a RAID system?

• To minimize system storage capacity

• To maximize system complexity

• To maximize fault-tolerance, performance, and capacity

• To reduce the read/write speed

What does striping mean in the context of RAID arrays?

• Duplicating the same data across multiple disks

• Splitting data into blocks and writing them across the array

• Combining smaller disks into a single large disk

• Encrypting data before storing it on the disks

How does striping improve the performance of a RAID system?

• By reducing the number of drives in the array

• By increasing the data transfer rate

• By improving the overall performance of the system

• By decreasing the amount of data that can be stored

What is the primary benefit of using RAID 1 for data storage?

• It increases computer performance by using striping.

• It assigns data across at least two disks without parity information.

• It mirrors data to provide redundancy in case one disk fails.

• It spans disk space across multiple disks to increase data speed.

Which RAID level is described as using striping to increase computer performance without any redundancy?

• RAID 0

• RAID 1

• RAID 5

• RAID 6

What is the role of a RAID controller?

• It is a software program that increases data speed.

• It is a card inside the computer that manages different hard disks or SSDs in the RAID array.

• It is a software program that provides data mirroring.

• It is a hardware component that solely increases computer performance.

Which of the following is not a common type of RAID implementation?

• RAID 0

• RAID 2

• RAID 5

• RAID 6
