Sue needs to identify a storage system technology that reduces both wear on the drives and also reduces power consumption. Which of the following technologies is the best fit for these types of requirements?
A.
RAIT
B.
RAID
C.
MAID
D.
TAT
Explanation:
Massive array of inactive disks is a technology that uses a large group
of hard disk drives, hundreds or even thousands, with only those drives that are
needed actively spinning at any given time. MAID is a storage system solution that
reduces both wear on the drives and also reduces power consumption. Because only
specific disks spin at a given time, what is not in use is literally a massive array
of idle disks, which also means the system produces less heat than other large
storage systems.
