What else can I help you with?
Why is RAID 0 of any use if it offers no redundancy?
RAID 0 can be used to improve performance through concurrent access and/or create large logical disks out of multiple physical disks.
What in Linux allows a user to combine two or more physical disks?
A software RAID program such as mdadm can do this.
Why can you not use an arry of VHD to create a striped volume ina windows system?
In a Windows system, you cannot use an array of Virtual Hard Disks (VHDs) to create a striped volume because Windows requires physical disks or dynamic disks for RAID configurations like striping. VHDs are treated as files within the file system, and while they can be mounted as drives, they do not have the same capabilities as physical or dynamic disks for managing data distribution across multiple drives. Additionally, the performance benefits of striping rely on multiple physical disk access, which VHDs cannot provide in the same way.
Magnets destroy floppy disks what else destroys it?
Floppy disks are made of materials that degrade with time. Material degradation include cracks and chemical changes such as oxidation. Physical force will break a floppy disk. Heat will melt the disk or hasten oxidation of the material. Spilling something on a disk creates a coating that can alter the physical movement of the disk. Other chemicals can react with the material of the disk and change its physical or chemical characteristics.
Why cant the wizard create a virtual disk using the Parity layout when there are only two physical disks in the storage pool?
The wizard cannot create a virtual disk using the Parity layout with only two physical disks because Parity requires a minimum of three disks to function properly. This is due to the need for distributed data and redundancy; with only two disks, there is insufficient capacity to store the parity information necessary for data recovery in case of a disk failure. Thus, at least three disks are needed to ensure both data integrity and redundancy in a Parity setup.
A volume appears as a appears as a simple volume but can use space from two or more physical disks?

The Linux what allows a user to combine two or more physical disks to create a volume group?
logical volume manager
Storage Area Network What is the difference between a LUN and a volume?
LUN = Logical Unit NumberVolume = a physical diskDepending on how the storage is configured a LUN may correspond to: a single physical volume as a single logical unitseveral physical volumes being treated as a single logical unitone partition within a physical volume formatted as several partitions (with each partition as a single logical unit)The concept of a LUN makes it easy for programs to access the disks and makes it easy to perform maintenance on the disks by shuffling the LUNs between physical disks as needed. The programs do not need to be changed or reconfigured when a physical drive is removed, replaced, or upgraded to one of greater capacity (or converted to RAID storage).
What is raid volume?
A logical representation of one or more physical disks configured to provide redundant and/or large storage space for the system.
Does memory usually refer to permanent or temporary storage?
A temporary memory is one that loses its contents if energy is cut off. This is normally some variety of RAM.A permanent memory is one that maintains its contents, even without a permanent energy supply. This includes hard disks, CDs, DVDs, and flash drives. Note that the contents of "permanent" memory can still be changed, or damaged.
When configuring the RAID environment on Windows 2008 one of the options is RAID which uses multiple blocks of contiguous space on at least three physical disks with parity information stored?
The RAID configuration you are referring to is RAID 5. It requires a minimum of three physical disks and uses striping with parity, which distributes data and parity information across all disks. This setup allows for data redundancy and improved read performance, as the parity information enables the system to recover data in case one of the disks fails. RAID 5 strikes a balance between storage efficiency, performance, and fault tolerance.
What is the advantage of floppy disks?
they are floppy disks
