A technician is configuring a new web server and must have over 10TB of fault-tolerant storage, while minimizing the number of failure points. The applications on the server also require the highest performance available. Which of the following configurations would the technician MOST likely select?
A. RAID 0 with 15000rpm 15TB drives
B. RAID 1 with 10000rpm 8TB drives
C. RAID 5 with 7200rpm 5TB drives
D. RAID 10 with 5400rpm 6TB drives

D. RAID 10 with 5400rpm 6TB drives — Remember RAID 0 needs a minimum of 2 drives, RAID 1 needs a minimum of 2 drives, RAID 5 needs a minimum of 3 drives, and RAID 10 needs a minimum of 4 drives. . RAID 10 provides fault tolerance and a capacity of 12 TB and also provides better performance than the other choices.
Not A- RAID 0 because it doesn’t provide fault tolerance
Not B – RAID 1 provides fault tolerance but only 8TB of capacity
Not C – RAID 5 provides fault tolerance and a capacity of 10TB – question says “must have OVER 10 TB.”
