What is the maximum number of data disks that a RAID-TEC RAID group has?
RAID-TEC is a RAID level that uses three parity disks to provide enhanced data protection. The maximum number of drives in a RAID-TEC group is 29, but this includes the three parity disks. Therefore, the maximum number of data disks in a RAID-TEC group is 29 minus 3, which equals 26.
A. 26 RAID-TEC max drive count = 29 3 Parity Drives 26 Data
A is correct, notice the word "data". Here is a link to a Netapp disk calculator. Try it out. https://wintelguy.com/netappcalc.pl
