Multiple choice server windows-2000

Your Windows 2000 server has one hard disk. This computer runs a custom application that writes a large number of small temporary files in a single directory to support requests from users' computers. To improve performance of the application you add thre

  1. Create a striped volume

  2. Create a single volume on disk one and extend the volume to create a spanned volume

  3. Create a RAID 5 volume

  4. Mount the roots of Disk 2 and 3 in the root folder of Disk 1

A Correct answer
Explanation

A striped volume (RAID 0) spreads data across multiple disks in parallel, significantly improving read/write performance for applications that handle many small files. This is ideal for the described scenario where a custom application writes numerous temporary files. Spanned volumes (Option B) provide no performance benefit as they simply concatenate disk space. RAID 5 (Option C) offers redundancy but slower write performance due to parity calculations. Mount points (Option D) are for organization, not performance improvement.
