CompTIA A+ 220-1001 & 220-1002 A+ 1002: CH9 Review
This flashcard set reviews storage resiliency types from Chapter 9 of the CompTIA A+ 220-1002 exam, focusing on performance vs. protection trade-offs. Ideal for mastering how different storage configurations impact data safety and speed.
Storage Resiliency Types: Designed for increased performance, but don’t protect your files from drive failure. They’re best for Temporary data such as video rendering files, image editor scratch files, and intermediary compiler object files. Requires at least 2 Drives to be useful?

Storage Resiliency Types: Designed for storage efficiency and protect your files from drive failure by keeping multiple copies. Best for archival data and streaming media, like music and videos. This storage layout requires atleast 3 Drives to protect you from a single drive failure and at least 7 drives to protect you from two drive failures?

A Stripped Volume is another name for? RAID1 | RAID0 |
Stripped Volume has faster read/write times than a single drive? True | True Stripped Volume = RAID0 |
Stripped Volume provides redundancy because you can just replace the drive if it fails? True | False Stripped Volume is RAID0, which is 0 Redundancy. |
Spanned Volume stores data differently on the drives than a Stripped Volume? True | True Spanned Volume simply treats the two or three drives and writes files to one drive at a time until the allocated space is filled, a Failed Drive in a Spanned Volume would still allow for “Some” data / files to be recoverable. A Stripped Volume writes blocks across both dries. |
