You are configuring a RAID 5 solution on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2. You are using
five 750GB hard drives in the RAID array. How much free space will you get after configuring the
RAID 5 solution?
A.
2,250
B.
1,500
C.
3,000
D.
3,750
Explanation:
After configuring the RAID 5 solution, you get 3,000GB free space. You can calculate free space for a
RAID 5 solution using the following formula:
Available free space for RAID 5 = Total drive space – 1/n (Total drive space)
where, n is the number of hard drives
According to the
question : = 5
x 750
= 3,750GB
Free space for the RAID 5 solution = 3,750 – 1/5 (3,750)
= 3,750 – 750
= 3,000GB
