RAID Technology Quiz

What does RAID stand for?

• Random Access of Independent Disks

• Redundant Array of Independent Disks

• Reliable Array of Independent Disks

• Redundant Access of Independent Disks

What is the primary purpose of RAID technology?

• To increase the number of physical disk drives

• To combine multiple physical disk drives into a single logical unit

• To reduce the number of physical disk drives

• To create a single physical disk drive

Which of the following is NOT a purpose of RAID?

• Data redundancy

• Performance improvement

• Data encryption

• Both data redundancy and performance improvement

What does RAID provide to ensure that data is not lost if a single disk fails?

• Data Compression

• Data Redundancy

• Data Encryption

• Data Deletion

How does RAID enhance the performance of a storage system?

• By reducing the number of disks

• By spreading read and write operations across multiple disks

• By increasing the size of each disk

• By compressing the data

What is one of the benefits of combining several disks into one logical unit in RAID?

• Smaller storage capacity

• Larger storage capacity

• Slower data access

• Increased data redundancy

What is fault tolerance in the context of RAID?

• A feature that ensures data reliability and system uptime even in the event of disk failures.

• A method to increase the speed of data processing.

• A technique to reduce the cost of data storage.

• A way to improve the graphical performance of a system.

How does RAID provide different levels of fault tolerance?

• By using data compression and encryption.

• By using data mirroring and parity.

• By using data fragmentation and defragmentation.

• By using data backup and restore.

How does RAID work?

• By configuring multiple hard drives into an array

• By using a single hard drive

• By using cloud storage

• By using external storage devices

What is the purpose of different RAID levels?

• To provide different methods of storing and protecting data

• To increase the speed of the internet

• To reduce the size of the hard drives

• To improve the graphics quality
