When I/O performance is more important than fault tolerance, which of the following configurations should be used?
SPAN 10
RAID 1
RAID 0
NFS 1
Explanations:
SPAN 10 is a volume management method that combines multiple disks to create a larger volume without redundancy. It may enhance capacity but does not optimize I/O performance compared to RAID 0.
RAID 1 mirrors data across two drives, providing fault tolerance but sacrificing performance due to the need to write data to both disks, making it less optimal when I/O performance is prioritized.
RAID 0 stripes data across multiple disks, which enhances I/O performance by allowing simultaneous read and write operations. However, it does not provide any fault tolerance, making it ideal when performance is prioritized over data safety.
NFS (Network File System) is a protocol for file sharing over a network. While it can provide some performance benefits, it introduces network latency and overhead, making it less efficient for I/O performance compared to RAID 0.
