Exam 5: Supporting Hard Drives and Other Storage Devices

Why might you want to use a RAID 0 disk configuration?

During normal Windows operations, you receive a BSOD, and your computer shuts down. You restart the computer and receive the error again. You go online to check the error and see that it is an error related to reading data from virtual memory. What hardware might cause this BSOD error?

You recently installed a new RAID controller card in a PCIe expansion slot on your computer. After setting up the controller, you transfer data from the backup you created over to the computer. When you finish the setup, you turn the computer off and return it to its normal location. When you turn the computer on, you immediately receive the error message, "RAID not found." What might be the problem?

Keion works as a freelancer creating websites and designing logos for clients. He recently had a hard drive failure and lost work for a client, and he would like to prevent the same type problem from happening again. Keion does not want to rely on a backup but would like a way to ensure that his data is safe on his computer. You recommend that he create a RAID array that will duplicate his work onto two disks. What RAID configuration should you recommend to Keion?
