RAID Level Configurations and Windows Server 2019

Which RAID level configuration is not supported by Windows Server 2019?

Choose the correct one: a) RAID 0 b) RAID 1 c) RAID 5 d) RAID 6

Final Answer:

RAID 6 is the RAID level configuration that is not supported by Windows Server 2019.

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method of storing the same data in different places on multiple hard disks to protect data in the case of a drive failure. Windows Server 2019 supports RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5 configurations, but not RAID 6.

RAID 0 does not provide any redundancy but offers improved performance by striping data across multiple disks. RAID 1 mirrors data on two drives for redundancy. RAID 5 uses striping with distributed parity for both performance and redundancy. On the other hand, RAID 6 provides double distributed parity for enhanced fault tolerance.

Windows Server 2019 does not support RAID 6 because it requires a more complex controller compared to RAID 0, 1, and 5. Organizations using Windows Server 2019 should consider the supported RAID levels while planning their storage configurations to ensure data protection and performance.
