You want shared network storage that’s easy to set up and geared toward file sharing with
several file-sharing protocols, but you don’t want the device to be dedicated to file sharing.
What should you consider buying?
SAN
DAS
NAS
LAS
What type of interface are you likely to find on a DAS device for connecting the device to the
server that uses it?

You have installed a new disk and created a volume on it. What should you do before you
can store files on it?
Format it.
Partition it.
Initialize it.
Erase it.
You’re planning to install a new database application that uses an enormous amount of disk
space. You need this application to be highly available, so you need a disk system with the
capability to auto-correct from disk errors and data corruption. Which of the following is
the best option?
MBR disk with chkdsk
NTFS format with EFS
ReFS format and Storage Spaces
GPT disk with shadow copies
Which of the following is the correct sequence of steps for creating a volume with Storage
Spaces?
Disk pool, volume, virtual disk
Primordial pool, virtual disk, volume
Virtual disk, disk pool, volume
Disk pool, virtual disk, volume
Which disk interface technology transfers data over a parallel bus?
SATA
USB
SAS
SCSI
What’s created automatically when you install Windows Server 2012 R2 on a system with a
disk drive that has never had an OS installed on it before?
System volume
Dynamic disk
GPT
Extended partition
What type of volumes or partitions can be created on a basic disk? (Choose all that apply.)
Spanned volume
Striped partition
Extended partition
Simple volume
Which of the following is true about GPT disks?
They support a maximum volume size of 2 TB.
GPT is the default when initializing a disk in Disk Management.
They use CRC protection for the partition table.
You can’t convert a GPT disk to MBR.
You have a server with Windows Server 2012 R2 installed on Disk 0, a basic disk. You’re
using the server to store users’ documents. You have two more disks that you can install in
the server. What should you do if you want to provide fault tolerance for users’ documents?
Convert Disk 0 to dynamic. Create a striped volume using Disk 0, Disk 1, and Disk 2.
Create a RAID 1 volume from Disk 1 and Disk 2.
Convert the new disks to GPT. Create a spanned volume using Disk 1 and Disk 2.
Create a RAID 5 volume from Disk 0, Disk 1, and Disk 2.
You need a disk system that provides the best performance for a new application that
frequently reads and writes data to the disk. You aren’t concerned about disk fault tolerance
because the data will be backed up each day; performance is the main concern. What type of
volume arrangement should you use?
Spanned volume
RAID 1 volume
RAID 0 volume
RAID 5 volume
You need to protect sensitive files from unauthorized users even if the disk is stolen. What
feature should you use and on what file system?

do to see this file’s contents?
Right-click the file and click Open.
Open the file in Notepad.
Burn the file to a DVD.
Mount the file.
You see something named “primordial” in File and Storage Services. What can you do
with it?
Create a storage pool.
Create a virtual disk.
Format it.
Create a new volume.
What type of storage layout does Storage Spaces support? (Choose all that apply.)
Simple space
Mirror space
Parity space
Striped space

reduces it to a single instance?
Disk quotas
Storage tiering
Fixed provisioning
Data deduplication
Which of the following uses dynamically expanding storage?
