Configuring Storage
Which disk drive interface type provides data transfer throughput at rates up to 600 Mbps to external devices?
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)
External SATA (eSATA)
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) is a serial interface that transfers data in bursts instead of parallel. It comes in three varieties: 1.5 Gbps (SATA-1.0), 3 Gbps (SATA-2.0), and 6 Gbps (SATA 3.0). These have maximum throughputs of 150 Mbps, 300 Mbps, and 600 Mbps. External SATA (eSATA) extends the SATA bus to external devices.
How many primary partitions are supported on a GPT partitioned disk?
3
4
64

128
Which of the following statements are true of extended partitions? (Choose all that apply)
You do not format the extended partition
Extended partitions cannot host an operating system
A basic disk can contain an unlimited number of extended partitions
An extended partition is limited to 2 TB
You do not format the extended partition
Extended partitions cannot host an operating system
Which of the following benefits are provided by the new Storage Spaces feature of Windows 10?
It allows you to easily connect to iSCSI devices.
It allows you to combine several logical drives into one physical drive.
It allows you to easily connect to SCSI devices.
It allows you to combine several physical drives into one logical drive.
It allows you to combine several physical drives into one logical drive.
After completing the setup of a storage space, several tasks become available. Which of the following is not an available task?
Adding more drives to the pool
Removing drives from the pool
Renaming the pool
Changing the size of storage spaces
Renaming the pool
Which storage space resiliency type can be used to protect against two simultaneous drive failures?
Parity
Simple
Three-way mirror
Two-way mirror
Three-way mirror
Which storage space resiliency type offers no data protection when a drive fails?
Parity
Simple
Three-way mirror
Two-way mirror
Simple
Which storage space resiliency type can be used to protect up to a single drive failure and requires two drives, minimum?
Parity
Simple
Three-way mirror
Two-way mirror
Two-way mirror
Two-way mirror writes two copies of your data to protect against a single drive failure; it requires at least two drives.
Which storage space resiliency type can be used to protect up to a single drive failure and requires three drives, minimum?
Parity
Simple
Three-way mirror
Two-way mirror
Parity writes data with parity information to protect against single drive failures; it requires at least three drives.
Which of the following is the greatest danger that high-capacity removable storage devices pose to an enterprise network?
Data can be brought into the network that is not authorized.
Data can be taken out of the network without authorization.
Data can be brought into the network that is unsafe.
Data is being insufficiently backed up more often than not when placed on removable storage.
Data can be taken out of the network without authorization.
High-capacity removable disks and drives are dangerous to enterprise networks in that they can allow data in, as well as carry it out. Users can easily introduce unauthorized software into the environment, and they can also copy corporate data and carry it out. Exfiltration of data in an unauthorized fashion, or without required protections (e.g., encryption) poses the largest danger to enterprise networks when dealing with removable storage devices.
