A server has experienced a hard drive failure in your data center. The server is utilizing a RAID 6 configuration. How many drives can fail and still avoid data loss?
In a RAID 6 configuration, you can lose up to two drives and still maintain fault tolerance. RAID 6 uses two parity blocks distributed across the drives, which allows the system to recover from the simultaneous failure of two drives without data loss. If a third drive fails, the array would lose data integrity.
