Multiple users contact the help desk to report issues with the network fileshares. Files are accessible, but performance is very slow. Which of the following should a technician perform first?
The correct answer is C. Check the RAID drive status LEDs.
RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, which is a technology that combines multiple physical disks into a logical unit that provides improved performance, reliability, or both1. RAID can be implemented using hardware or software, and there are different levels of RAID that use different methods of data distribution and redundancy1.
One of the common issues with RAID is disk failure, which means that one or more of the disks in the array stop working properly. Disk failure can affect the performance and availability of the network fileshares, depending on the RAID level and the number of failed disks2.
I have to go with B only because since the question did not say anything about using a RAID configuration. To me I am thinking the Network is Performing Slow. Had the question had said something like using a Raid, then I would have answered C.

One of the common issues with RAID is disk failure, which means that one or more of the disks in the array stop working properly. Disk failure can affect the performance and availability of the network fileshares, depending on the RAID level and the number of failed disks2. For example, RAID 0, which uses striping to split data across multiple disks, has no redundancy and will lose all data if any disk fails. RAID 1, which uses mirroring to duplicate data on two disks, can tolerate one disk failure and still function. RAID 5, which uses striping with parity to distribute data and error correction information across three or more disks, can also tolerate one disk failure and still function1.
I don't think you should ever ask the user to do anything. A has nothing to do with it and D is drastic for the first move. C is my best option but it has to be assumed that they have RAID. I can see a world where B is decent. Is it wrong to ask the users to preform a network test? If no, can you provide an example within the CompTIA standards or any for that matter?
B. Ask the users to perform a network speed test.
Reason: Asking users to perform a network speed test can help determine if the slow performance is related to network issues. Network speed tests can reveal problems such as high latency, low bandwidth, or network congestion, which could be affecting file share performance.
Keyword in question is what to do FIRST. By having users test their network connection speed, the technician can quickly determine if the issue is localized to specific users or devices, or if it's a widespread network problem. This will help narrow down the potential causes and guide further troubleshooting.
By starting with a simple network speed test, the technician can quickly gather information and determine the next steps for troubleshooting the slow network file share performance.
