CompTIA SK0-005 Exam - Topic 3 Question 81 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's SK0-005 exam

Question #: 81
Topic #: 3

An administrator has been asked to increase the storage capacity of a stand-alone file server but no further expansion slots are available. Whichof the following would be the FASTEST solution to implement with no downtime?

AConfigure a RAID array.

BReplace the current drives with higher-capacity disks.

CImplement FCoE for more storage capacity.

DConnect the server to a SAN

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

A SAN (Storage Area Network) is a network of storage devices that can provide shared storage capacity to multiple servers. By connecting the server to a SAN, theadministrator can increase the storage capacity of the server without adding any internal disks or expansion cards. This solution can be implemented quickly and without any downtime. Verified Reference: [What is a SAN and how does it differ from NAS?]

A RAID array takes time to configure, not the fastest option.

D could be fast too, but it depends on the existing setup.

I feel like FCoE might not be the best answer here since it sounds more complex than just upgrading the drives or connecting to a SAN.

Connecting to a SAN seems like a solid choice for expanding storage quickly, but I can't recall if it requires any downtime during setup.

I think replacing the current drives with higher-capacity disks could work, but I’m worried about the downtime involved in swapping them out.

I remember studying RAID configurations, but I’m not sure if that would be the fastest option without downtime.

Connecting to a SAN could work, but that might take some time to set up. I'll keep that in mind as a possibility.

Replacing the drives with higher-capacity ones seems like the fastest solution, but I'll need to double-check that.

Okay, let's see. Expanding storage without any extra slots - that rules out a lot of options.

RAID array? Nah, that's too complicated. Just replace the disks, easy peasy!
