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 importance in ensuring data availability, a key aspect of the security triad. 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 demonstrates how to set up a RAID configuration in a Windows Server environment.

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

• To improve data integrity

• To ensure data availability

• To enhance data encryption

• To increase data confidentiality

Which type of RAID is generally faster and more reliable?

• Software RAID

• Cloud RAID

• Hardware RAID

• Network RAID

What is a key characteristic of RAID 0?

• Data mirroring

• Data striping

• Data parity

• Data encryption

How does RAID 1 ensure data availability?

• By encrypting data on all disks

• By using distributed parity

• By mirroring data on two disks

• By striping data across multiple disks

What is the main advantage of RAID 5?

• It offers high performance with no redundancy

• It provides data encryption

• It mirrors data across all disks

• It combines striping with distributed parity

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

• One

• Four

• Two

• Three

What combination of RAID levels does RAID 10 use?

• RAID 6 and RAID 0

• RAID 0 and RAID 1

• RAID 1 and RAID 5

• RAID 5 and RAID 6

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

• Two

• Three

• Four

• Five

When setting up a mirrored volume in Windows Server, what percentage of disk capacity is typically usable?

• 25%

• 50%

• 75%

• 100%

What file system is used when formatting a mirrored volume in Windows Server?

• NTFS

• HFS+

• exFAT

• FAT32
