Server hardware installation and management

A junior administrator must configure one RAID 5 volume from four 200 GB drives connected to the server, using the maximum possible capacity. After completion, the server indicates that every drive was used and that the volume is approximately 400 GB in size.

Which of the following BEST describes the outcome of this configuration?

Explanation

A four-drive RAID 5 array has usable capacity equal to the total capacity of three drives, or approximately 600 GB in this case, because distributed parity consumes the equivalent of one drive. A 400 GB usable volume from four 200 GB drives reflects RAID 10, which uses half of the raw capacity for mirroring.
