CompTIA Security+ Certification SY0-601: The Total Course - Disk RAID Levels

The video tutorial covers the concept of RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) and its role in ensuring data availability and performance. It explains the differences between hardware and software RAID, and how RAID can be configured in both local and network storage environments. The tutorial also details various RAID levels, such as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, highlighting their performance and availability benefits. Finally, it provides a practical guide to setting up software RAID in a Windows Server environment.

What is the primary purpose of RAID in the context of the security triad?

• To enhance data confidentiality

• To improve data integrity

• To ensure data availability

• To increase data encryption

Which type of RAID controller is generally faster and more reliable?

• Virtual RAID

• Software RAID

• Hardware RAID

• Cloud RAID

What is the main advantage of RAID 0?

• Disk mirroring

• Performance improvement

• Error recovery

• Data redundancy

How does RAID 1 ensure data availability?

• By storing data in the cloud

• By using distributed parity

• By mirroring data on two disks

• By striping data across multiple disks

What is the key feature of RAID 5?

• Disk mirroring

• Cloud storage integration

• Distributed parity

• Single disk performance

How many disk failures can RAID 6 tolerate while maintaining data availability?

• One

• Two

• Three

• Four

Which RAID level combines the features of RAID 0 and RAID 1?

• RAID 10

• RAID 6

• RAID 50

• RAID 5

In a RAID 10 setup, what is the minimum number of disks required?

• Three

• Two

• Five

• Four

What is the result of creating a mirrored volume in terms of storage capacity?

• Keeps the storage capacity the same

• Halves the storage capacity

• Triples the storage capacity

• Doubles the storage capacity

In the Windows Server example, what file system is used for the mirrored volume?

• NTFS

• exFAT

• FAT32

• HFS+
