      Why not parity in this case? It takes 3 disks and this would be the perfect question and scenario to ask this in, as if one disk fails impact is minimized. The mirror would still leave a free disk.

    This is a stupid question… They only say that you need data redundancy. You can use Parity, two-way mirror and even three-way mirror (in this case we have 3 disks)

    Three-way mirror –> Not very effecient
    Simple –> Not redundant
    Two-way mirror –> redundant, but you leave 1 disk unused.
    Parity –> Redendant, use all disks

    I would say that D is the best answer

    two way mirror.
    3 way reqs 5 disks so not an option.
    parity is possible but if you lose a disk it causes a greater impact on system due to having to recreate data using the parity, whereas a disk lost in a mirror doesnt affect speed at all.
    It is also quicker to recreate a failed mirror than a parity set.
    Therefore a mirror minimizes the impact of failure better than parity
