The answer is RAID 10 but it's not a good question because the RAID 10 can only handle multiple drive failures if they're on different mirrored pairs.

It is generally implied that they would be on different mirrored pairs.

D RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, which is a technology that combines multiple disks into a logical unit to improve performance, reliability, or both. There are different types of RAID levels that use different methods of data distribution and redundancy. RAID 0 is a level that stripes data across multiple disks without any redundancy. It offers the highest performance but no fault tolerance. If any disk fails, the entire array is lost. RAID 1 is a level that mirrors data across two disks. It offers the lowest performance but the highest fault tolerance. It can survive the failure of one disk

RAID 5 is a level that stripes data across multiple disks with parity information. It offers a balance between performance and fault tolerance. It can survive the failure of one disk, but not two or more disks. RAID 10 is a level that combines RAID 1 and RAID 0. It creates a striped array of mirrored pairs. It offers high performance and high fault tolerance. It can survive the failure of one disk in each pair, or multiple disks in different pairs. Therefore, if the server administrator wants to rebuild the array to withstand a potential multidrive failure in the future, RAID 10 is the most likely choice.

The administrator should select D. RAID 10. RAID 10, also known as RAID 1+0, combines the features of RAID 0 and RAID 1. It provides both data striping for performance and mirroring for redundancy. This configuration allows the server to withstand multiple drive failures, making it a highly reliable solution for critical systems. Here's a breakdown of why other options are not suitable: RAID 0: Provides performance but no redundancy, making it vulnerable to single drive failures. RAID 1: Provides redundancy but no performance benefits, as data is mirrored across multiple drives. RAID 5: Provides a balance between performance and redundancy, but it's more susceptible to data loss if multiple drives fail during a rebuild. Therefore, RAID 10 is the optimal choice for the administrator who wants to ensure high availability and fault tolerance for the server. GG

RAID 5 is a suitable choice for this scenario. It uses block-level striping with distributed parity across multiple drives. By distributing parity information across all drives in the array, RAID 5 provides fault tolerance and can withstand the failure of a single drive without data loss. When a drive fails, the array can be rebuilt by using the parity information and the data from the remaining drives.

You explained why you are wrong in your own explanation of why you picked the wrong answer. It said it wants to handle multiple drive failure, not a single drive.
