Raid that functions as part of the operating system on the file server

A.
Software implementation

B.
Hardware implementation

C.
Network implementation

D.
Netware implementation

Explanation:
This kind of RAID is totally depended on the operating system, this is because the
server does not have any special hardware – RAID controller in the board. This kind of RAID
implementation usually degrades performance because it takes many CPU cycles. A very

common example of software RAID is the support for it on Windows 2000 Server, where you can
create RAID 0,1 and 5 through heterogeneous disks, you can even make a RAID between one
SCSI and one EIDE disk. The software implementation is hardware independent always that the
disks are recognized by the Operating System.
