    1. JR says:

      You’re correct, Brandon. RAID 5 requires that you take the size of the disks (# of disks times smallest disk capacity) and subtract one drive from the total size.

      The answer given, ‘D’, corresponds to RAID 0, where you have a 1:1 ratio for drive size, based on the smallest drive size in the array.

    I think there’s a minus sign missing in answers B and D. I think D is correct but should read “(Number of drives – 1) X capacity of the smallest drive”
