RAID Level 7

B.
RAID Level 5

RAID Level 10

Explanation:
RAID level 2 would be our guess, but all of them can function as a single virtual disk, that is what
logical drives present.

    answer should be RAID Level 7.
    “RAID Level 7 is a variation of RAID 5 wherein the array functions as a single virtual disk in the hardware. This is sometimes simulated by software running over a RAID level 5 hardware implementation, which enables the drive array to continue to operate if any disk or any path to any disk fails. It also provides parity protection.” Pg 91 Krutz: CISSP Prep Guide: Gold Edition.

    To make a even more confusing it is RAID 10………….:

    Look at http://osr507doc.sco.com/en/OSAdminG/vdmC.vdtypes.html#vdmC.raid4. Here is an explanation of the concept of a single virtual disk.

    Example striped mirrored disk (you have to see the above showns URL because it shows a picture that explains the concept of a single virutal disk).

    In this example, Disk 1 is mirrored to Disk 2, Disk 3 is mirrored to Disk 4, and so on. The four mirrored virtual disks are then configured as a single striped disk. Disks 1, 3, 5, and 7 are striped together and disks 2, 4, 6, and 8 mirror them under a single virtual disk node. This configuration will protect disks from:

    Failure of one of the host adapters.
    Multiple disk failures on a single bus.
    Multiple disk failures on either bus.
    This configuration will not protect from simultaneous disk failures of Disk 1 and Disk 2 or Disk 3 and Disk 4, and so on. Striped-mirror configurations can result in performance improvements over standard mirror or standard striped configurations.
