17
Q

What is RAID 0?

A

RAID 0 is also known as disk striping, it’s when half the data is on disk X and the other half is on disk Y

18
Q

What is RAID Level 1?

A

RAID 1 is also known as disk mirroring

19
Q

What is RAID Level 5?

A

RAID 5 is similar to raid zero in the sense that the different disk carry data over each other but to be implemented it needs at least 3 disks as the algorithm uses logic gates to summaries and recover data in the event of a disk failure

20
Q

What is an example of a nested RAID Level

A

RAID 1+0 / RAID 10

21
Q

How many drives does RAID 10 require

A

4
