A)Create a RAID-3 volume.
B)Create a RAID-0 volume.
C)Create a RAID-1 volume.
D)Create a RAID-5 volume.

Accepted Answer

John should create a RAID-1 volume to provide fault tolerance on his computer running Windows 7 Home Premium.
Key Takeaway: Windows 7 enables you to expand and contract volumes without data loss and without requiring a reboot. You can create simple volumes, spanned volumes, striped volumes, mirrored volumes, and striped volumes with parity on dynamic disks. A mirrored or RAID-1 volume provides availability and fault tolerance, but does not improve performance. It uses two disks that are the same size. Any changes made to the first disk of a mirror set are also made to its mirror disk. If the first disk fails, the mirror is broken and the second disk is used until the first is repaired or replaced.

Question 12

Accepted Answer

To check the bandwidth requirements of the USB devices, you should first open the Device Manager. Double-click Universal Serial Bus Controllers, right-click the Host Controller for your system, and choose Properties. Access the Advanced tab.
Key Takeaway: If you have a USB device connected to your computer and you receive a "Bandwidth Exceeded" message, disconnect the device from the computer. USB host ports are limited to a total maximum bandwidth. If you use a device that consumes high bandwidth like a streaming device, it reserves bandwidth on the port. You can use a separate USB host port for streaming devices and another host port for other devices to avoid bandwidth limitations.
