I need Tech Notes for Simple, Striped, Mirrored & Raid-5 Volumes.

Can anyone help?

Many Thanks.

It's a good idea to also reference over to the tech notes for the 70-270 as there is a fair bit of overlap between the 70-270 and 70-290 exams.

XP doesn't natively support mirrored or RAID-5 (you can hack it though).

Basically:

Simple is a basic, stand-alone dynamic disk.

Striped combines two or more volumes into a single volume. This increase performance but provides no redundancy. This is synonymous with RAID-0.

Mirrored does just what it says, and stores an identical copy of a volume an another. You can have more than two volumes in a mirror, but they are all identical. This is synonymous with RAID-1.

RAID-5 stores data across three or more drives along with parity information that can be used to reconstruct data in the event of one of the drives failing.
