RAID Recovery Course - RAID Levels Test

RAID5 is

non-redundant block array
non-redundant non-block array
redundant non-block array
redundant block array

Which controller uses non-typical RAID6 layout – wide pace?

Promise
LSI
HP SmartArray

Synchronous RAID is the same as symmetric RAID

true
false

What is hotspare?

blank disk already installed in a RAID in anticipation of a member disk failure
disk storing a copy of RAID data
disk storing a copy of parity data

Check the correct statements relating to a hotspare

hotspare drive may contain non-zero data
hotspare can be either a standalone hard drive or be integrated into a RAID
hotspare is always integrated into a RAID
hotspare is always a standalone hard drive

Choose the correct statement relating to RAID5E

hotspare blocks are reserved on a standalone hard drive
hotspare blocks are integrated in the end of RAID
hotspare blocks are evenly spread across array member disks

Choose the correct statement relating to RAID5EE

hotspare blocks are reserved on a standalone hard drive
hotspare blocks are integrated in the end of RAID
hotspare blocks are evenly spread across array member disks

Check what delayed parity means

data blocks are larger than parity blocks
parity blocks are delayed within one of the member disks
parity blocks are larger than data blocks

Check the correct RAID5 layouts

far symmetric/asymmetric
right symmetric/asymmetric
left symmetric/asymmetric
near symmetric/asymmetric

Check RAID levels which may utilize delayed parity

RAID5
RAID10
RAID4
RAID6
