100

the minimum number of drives the technician has to install if configuring a RAID level 6


What is Five?


100

The RAID level that a technician chooses if the customer needs protection if one drive fails, fast access, and drive capacity.

What is RAID 5?

RAID 5 is the most commonly used RAID level. It has a minimum of 3 disks and NO maximum. This RAID level has fault tolerance so that Data is not lost. 

100

provides fault tolerance for up to two failed drives

What is the RAM and the CPU?

200

the minimum number of drives the technician has to install if configuring a RAID level 10.

What is four?


200

The RAID level a technician chooses if the customer needs protection if two drive fails and wants as much drive capacity as possible.

What is RAID 6?

200

stores the same data on multiple drives simultaneously

What is Mirroring?

200

What is Powerful CPU

300

BIOS is also known as this.

What is Basic Input Output System

300

the minimum number of drives the technician has to install if configuring a RAID level 1.

What is 2?


300

The RAID level a technician chooses if the customer needs protection for one drive failure and only has room in the computer for two drives.

What is RAID 1?

RAID 1 is the mirroring of 2 disks. If one disk fails there is a backup.

300

Enables data to be distributed across multiple drives

What is Striping

300

Which condition refers to a reduced voltage level of AC power that lasts for an extended period of time?

What is Brownout?

400

What RAID level would a technician choose if the customer wants RAID and full drive capacity, but does not care about a drive failure, because all data is constantly backed up?

What is RAID 0?

RAID 0 has striping which makes the disk faster but if one drive fails all data is lost. 

400

provides basic error checking and fault tolerance by storing checksums separately from data

What is Parity?

What is RAID 0

This would ensure that the drives are faster. If a drive fails their data is backed up.

500

RAID 10 is a combination of these two.

What is Striping and Mirroring?

500

This data is stored in the CMOS memory chip

What is BIOS settings?
