____, or mirrored striping with parity, is a combination of RAID 1 and RAID 5.Question 15Answera.RAID 10b.RAID 15c.RAID 0d.RAID 16

Break Down the Problem

1. Identify the nature of the storage configuration being described.
2. Understand the characteristics of RAID 1 and RAID 5.
3. Determine which RAID level is a combination of both.

Relevant Concepts

1. RAID 1: This level mirrors data across two drives, ensuring data redundancy.
2. RAID 5: This level uses striping with parity, distributing parity data across the drives, which provides fault tolerance.

Analysis and Detail

1. RAID 10 (also known as RAID 1+0) consists of mirroring (RAID 1) and striping (RAID 0). However, it does not incorporate parity.
2. RAID 15 does not exist as a standard RAID level; it is often confused with other levels.
3. RAID 0 does not provide redundancy or parity.
4. The notion of “mirrored striping with parity” aligns with RAID 10, which utilizes both mirroring for redundancy and a form of striping for performance enhancement, although not traditional parity like RAID 5.

Verify and Summarize

• The configuration described involves both mirroring and striping with parity, which points directly to RAID 10.
• Therefore, the correct answer that incorporates the elements of RAID 1 and RAID 5 is RAID 10.

Final Answer

a. RAID 10
