RAID level 5 can be preferred to handle...............a)small volume of datab)log applicationsc)high transfer ratesd)large volume storagee)low transfer rates

RAID Level 5 combines striping with parity, allowing for both improved performance and data redundancy. It provides a good balance between performance, capacity, and reliability. As such, it is particularly advantageous when handling large volumes of data. RAID 5 is designed to tolerate the failure of a single disk without losing data, making it suitable for environments where data integrity is crucial, such as file storage systems and servers managing significant data workloads.

Given this understanding, the most appropriate answer from your options would be:

d) large volume storage

This option reflects RAID 5’s strengths in efficiently managing significant amounts of data while ensuring fault tolerance and decent read performance.
