You are reviewing a series of MSA2052 storage designs for a customer's remote locations. Their largest remote site requires the highest possible level of internal data protection with at least 20 TB of storage.
Which disk drive design is adequate for this site?
To accommodate at least 20 TB of storage with the highest level of internal data protection, the design choice must consider both capacity and fault tolerance. Option D, with 12 HPE MSA 2 TB drives configured with RAID6, provides sufficient capacity and enhanced data protection through double parity. RAID6 can tolerate up to two simultaneous drive failures, making it a robust solution for high data protection needs. The usable storage in a RAID6 array with 12 drives would be (12 - 2) x 2 TB = 20 TB, meeting the requirement.
This answer only works if storage requirement is RAW.
