A growing company's file server is running out of storage space. The server currently has a RAID 5 array with four 2 TB drives. The administrator needs to increase capacity without downtime and with minimal disruption. Which approach should be taken?

Add an additional drive to the existing RAID 5 array

Create a new RAID 0 array and move data to it

Use a NAS device for additional storage

Replace all drives with larger ones and rebuild the array

In RAID 1, how is data written to the disks in the array?

Data is written with dual parity on separate disks.

Data is written with parity distributed across all disks.

Data is striped across all disks in the array.

Data is written identically to each disk in the array.

Which of the following is a key benefit of using a NAS device in a network?

It requires specialized Fibre Channel infrastructure to operate.

It allows multiple clients to easily share files and collaborate.

It provides the lowest possible latency for database transactions.

It provides block-level access for virtual machine storage.

A company is expanding its virtualized infrastructure. The storage administrator must choose between a SAN and a NAS solution. The environment requires block-level storage for VMs, low latency, and the ability to scale storage independently of compute. However, the budget is limited, and the team has more experience with file-level protocols. Which solution should be chosen?
