Question 1. Which level of RAID refers to disk mirroring with block striping?
  1.    RAID level 1
  2.    RAID level 2
  3.    RAID level 0
  4.    RAID level 3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> RAID level 1


RAID level 1RAID level 1 refers to disk mirroring with block striping.


Question 2. With multiple disks, we can improve the transfer rate as well by ___________ data across multiple disks.
  1.    Striping
  2.    Dividing
  3.    Mirroring
  4.    Dividing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Striping


StripingData striping consists of splitting the bits of each byte across multiple disks; such striping is called bitlevel striping.


Question 3. Optical disk technology uses
  1.    Helical scanning
  2.    DAT
  3.    a laser beam
  4.    RAID
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> RAID


RAIDRedundant Array of Inexpensive Disks.


Question 4. The RAID level which mirroring is done along with stripping is
  1.    RAID 1+0
  2.    RAID 0
  3.    RAID 2
  4.    Both a and b
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Both a and b


Both a and bMirroring without striping can also be used with arrays of disks, to give the appearance of a single large, reliable disk.


Question 5. Which one of the following is a Stripping technique ?
  1.    Byte level stripping
  2.    Raid level stripping
  3.    Disk level stripping
  4.    Block level stripping
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Block level stripping


Block level strippingBlock-level striping stripes blocks across multiple disks. It treats the array of disks as a single large disk, and it gives blocks logical numbers.


Question 6. Where performance and reliability are both important, RAID level ____ is used.
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    2
  4.    0+1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 0+1


0+1Mirroring without striping can also be used with arrays of disks, to give the appearance of a single large, reliable disk.


Question 7. ______________ partitiones data and parity among all N+1 disks, instead of storing data in N-disks and parity in one disk.
  1.    Block interleaved parity
  2.    Block interleaved distributed parity
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Block interleaved distributed parity


Block interleaved distributed parityIn level 5, all disks can participate in satisfying read requests, unlike RAID level 4, where the parity disk cannot participate, so level 5 increases the total number of requests that can be met in a given amount of time.


Question 8. Hardware RAID implementations permit _________; that is, faulty disks can be removed and replaced by new ones without turning power off.
  1.    Scrapping
  2.    Swapping
  3.    Hot swapping
  4.    None of the mentioned
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Hot swapping


Hot swapping reduces the mean time to repair, since replacement of a disk does not have to wait until a time when the system can be shut down.


Question 9. ______________ which increases the number of I/O operations needed to write a single logical block, pays a significant time penalty in terms of write performance.
  1.    RAID level 1
  2.    RAID level 2
  3.    RAID level 5
  4.    RAID level 3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> RAID level 5


In level 5, all disks can participate in satisfying read requests, unlike RAID level 4, where the parity disk cannot participate, so level 5 increases the total number of requests that can be met in a given amount of time.


Question 10. ___________ is popular for applications such as storage of log files in a database system, since it offers the best write performance.
  1.    RAID level 1
  2.    RAID level 2
  3.    RAID level 0
  4.    RAID level 3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> RAID level 1


RAID level 1 refers to disk mirroring with block striping.
