A technician is configuring a new server for a video streaming company. The primary requirements are to host large video files that need to be read quickly by many users and to ensure the configuration is highly resilient to disk failure. Which of the following RAID levels best meets these requirements for both high performance and high redundancy?
RAID 10, also known as RAID 1+0 or RAID "ten", is a nested RAID level that combines disk mirroring (RAID 1) and disk striping (RAID 0). This configuration provides the high read/write performance of RAID 0 and the high data redundancy of RAID 1, making it the ideal choice for applications that require both speed and fault tolerance. RAID 0 offers speed but no redundancy. RAID 1 offers redundancy but not a significant performance increase for writes. RAID 5 offers a balance but has lower write performance and less fault tolerance than RAID 10.
