You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
You connect three new hard disks to Server1.
You need to create a storage space that contains the three disks.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
• Provide fault tolerance if a single disk fails.
• Maximize the amount of useable storage space.
What should you create?

A.
A mirrored space

B.
A spanned volume

C.
A parity space

D.
A simple space

Explanation:
Fault tolerant and better space ratio. The data on volumes created on this type of virtual
disk, together with parity information that can be used to facilitate automatic reconstruction of
data in the event of a physical disk failure, is striped across all physical disks in the pool.
Parity virtual disks also provide resiliency to help protect you from data loss arising from the
failure

better with large sequential disk writes than with random I/O.
