You have a server named Server1Server1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2 and has the File
and Storage Services server role installed.
You attach four 500-GB disks to Server1.
You need to configure the storage to meet the following requirements:
Storage for an application named Application1 must be provided. Application1 requires 20
GB and will require a maximum of 800 GB in three years.
Storage for an application named Application2 must be provided. Application2 requires 20
GB and will require a maximum of 900 GB in three years.
The solution must provide the ability to dynamically add storage without requiring
configuration changes to the applications.
The storage must be available if a single disk fails.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Choose two.)

A.
From File and Storage Services, create virtual disks by using fixed provisioning.
B.
From Fife and Storage Services, create virtual disks by using thin provisioning.
C.
From File and Storage Services, create a storage pool that uses all four disks.
D.
From Disk Management, create a new RA1D-5 volume that uses all four disks.
E.
From Disk Management, create two new mirror volumes that use two disks each.

Its C and B.
You dont have enough free disk space to thick provision all that space (you need 800+900=1700GB), you have 500*4 = 2000, then minus 500 for redundancy = 1500GB.

Yes, but you´re counting with RAID in mind – BUT – pools provide resiliency natively without actually using parity disks. When creating the virtual disk you choose parity layout which needs at least 3 disks ( we have four ) and there you go. You get the whole capacity with four disks and protection for one disk failure.

It’s B and E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF1VoIftDMs check the comments in the link http://www.aiotestking.com/microsoft/which-two-actions-should-you-perform-555/ which has the same question

Correction – B + C

– If we create a new Virtual Disk with 4 500Gb Disk, fixed provisioning and faul tolerance (Storage Layout Parity) maximal capacity is 1,46Tb. I just tested it for sure.
– They also ask about: “The solution must provide the ability to dynamically add storage without requiring configuration changes to the applications.”
After reading that, Why using fixed provisioning? We will waste that space and the question is not asking for it.
So, for me is B + C

Agree on B+C. I hope the test for 70-410 is all like this, with questions this confusing and “both right, kinda”.
