    Yes Mike, I think so too that good answer is only D because it is not possible to do a volume space of 3 TB on a disk with MBR table partition (limited to 2 TB)

    You are both thinking in the right direction, but i don’t know what in the exam is right.

    The only logic answer is D i am sure.
    Yes Skudim that is totally right if you Need 3 TB disks, then you Need to build GPT disks.

  3. Adam says:

    My choice is D. Mirrored volume on Disk 2 and Disk 3. Both Disks match, GPT and Dynamic.

    Regarding answer E. RAID 5 on Disk 1, 2 and 3, it is not possible to have 4TB on MBR Partitions, so Disk 1 would have to be converted from MBR to GPT as well as Basic to Dynamic.

    Answer E. would take more time to implement than answer D.

  4. Chris Williams says:

    The correct answer is D because you can only do a raid configuration with the hard disk being dynamic only. To do a RAID 5 you have to convert disk 1 to a dynamic disk but the question doesn’t ask you to convert anything. You have to configure the fault tolerance with what you already have set. So all of the other answers are wrong for this question.

  5. bytezz says:

    A is also a valid solution – you could create a storage pool containing disks 2 and 3.

    From that storage pool, you can create a new 2-way mirror virtual disk (and then create a volume etc.). This would provide fault tolerance and a volume size greater than 3TB.
