An administrator needs to configure RAID for a video-rendering workstation at minimal cost. The solution should have high read/write performance and maximum drive storage utilization. Redundancy is not a concern. Which of the following RAID configurations should the administrator use?
Show answer
Answer: A
Explanation
In this scenario, where redundancy is not a concern and the focus is on high read/write performance and maximum drive storage utilization, the most suitable RAID configuration is: A. RAID 0. RAID 0 (striping) provides improved performance by striping data across multiple drives without redundancy. It offers high read/write speeds because data is split evenly across all drives, maximizing throughput. Additionally, RAID 0 provides maximum storage capacity utilization since there is no parity or mirroring overhead. Therefore, the correct answer is: A. 0.
