Why is RAID 6 the preferred choice for a large RAID set used for archive storage on high-capacity drives?

  • A to reduce risk during volume rebuild
  • B to increase write performance on the volume
  • C to maximize capacity of the volume
  • D to reduce drive wear
Explanation

RAID 6 provides dual parity and can tolerate two drive failures. Because rebuilding large-capacity drives can take a long time, this additional fault tolerance reduces the risk of data loss if another drive fails during the rebuild.
