A storage administrator is provisioning storage on a PowerMax 2000 array. The application requires fast reads and the highest possible data protection.
Which RAID level should be recommended?
A storage administrator is provisioning storage on a PowerMax 2000 array. The application requires fast reads and the highest possible data protection.
Which RAID level should be recommended?
RAID 6 (6 + 2) should be recommended for this scenario. RAID 6 offers high data protection with two parity drives, which ensures the highest possible data protection even in the event of multiple drive failures. While RAID 5 also offers good read performance and parity-based protection, it does not provide the same level of data protection as RAID 6. PowerMax 2000 supports RAID 6 (6 + 2), making it the suitable choice for the application requiring fast reads and the highest possible data protection.
the answer is A RAID 6 • Two parity drives • Data availability is primary consideration • Performance is a secondary consideration Highest Fast Read, Fair Write PowerMax 8000, PowerMax 2000, and VMAX All Flash 250F (6+2 only) VMAX All Flash 950F (14+2 only) RAID 5 • Parity-based protection • Striped data and parity High Fast Read, Good Write PowerMax 8000 and VMAX All Flash 950F (7+1 only) PowerMax 2000 and VMAX All Flash 250F (3+1 and 7+1)
answer is A. raid6 offers highest data protection. powermax 2000 support raid6(6+2)
