Performance-Based Question

Scenario: You are a technician at TechCorp Solutions. A client has purchased a new workstation for their accounting department that requires high data reliability and modern boot capabilities. The system has three new drives that need to be configured to meet the following business requirements.

Business Requirements:

  • The system must support UEFI boot and have a dedicated drive for the operating system
  • The operating system drive must be labeled "OS" for easy identification
  • Critical accounting data must be protected against single drive failure using two identical drives
  • The data storage solution must provide automatic failover if one drive fails
  • The redundant data volume must be labeled "DATA" to identify its purpose
  • All volumes must use the most secure and reliable file system available
  • The client wants maximum storage capacity from their data drives while maintaining redundancy
  • Drive letters should be assigned automatically by the system
