- 1. Raid Consider two implementations. Implementation A uses Raid Level 1 and B uses Raid Level 5. B places 5 disk drives into each parity group. How much disk space will be needed for each implementation if the intent is to provide 2 Terabytes of disk space to the application? What will the write time be for updating a block? Assume 10 millisecond read times and 10 millisecond write times on a disk drive.arrow_forwardThe use of virtual disks allows for easier data migrations, which in many cases can occur in a ..................... manner.arrow_forwardThis is what we have learned: Consecutive file blocks may be guaranteed to be written to the same physical disk block using various operating system-level techniques. Why is this so crucial with magnetic disks?Do we still need to use solid-state drives (SSDs) instead of regular hard drives, or is this argument moot? Defend your position and tell me why.arrow_forward

Logical address space cannot be any larger than physical address space. D. It separates the logical memory that is accessible to users from physical memory.arrow_forward...........…................allow for the creation of virtual disks from a pool of storage created by grouping standard physical disks.arrow_forward
