Which one of these capabilities is NOT a characteristic of dynamic disk storage?
A) Allows data to be transmitted to remote disks for off-site backup
B) Allows the spanning of multiple disks to create larger volumes
C) Allows data to be split across physical disks (striping)
D) Allows data to be duplicated across physical disks (mirroring)
The (un)answer: A) Allows data to be transmitted to remote disks for off-site backup
Although dynamic disks are very useful, they don’t have any built-in off-site backup capabilities.
The incorrect responses:
B) Allows the spanning of multiple disks to create larger volumes
Adding another physical disk with dynamic disks allow you to simply increase the size of the current volume, even though the data spans across multiple physical devices.
C) Allows data to be split across physical disks (striping)
Striping can be a useful efficiency improvement, especially when combined with multiple disk controllers.
D) Allows data to be duplicated across physical disks (mirroring)
Dynamic disks can be used to create copies of information across multiple disks, providing some useful redundancy for important volumes of data.
