Selected Answer: A

To meet the requirements of 2TB capacity, high performance, and support for one drive failure, the technician should configure the drives in a RAID 10 (1+0) setup. RAID 10 provides: High performance: Combines the speed of striping (RAID 0) with redundancy (RAID 1). Support for one drive failure: Data is mirrored, so a single drive failure does not result in data loss.

My first thought was A. But going with C. RAID 5 drives don't have to be identical, better performance, single disk failure and the added drive number 6 for for failure would keep the usable storage at 2TB.
