70-740 Midterm ACTUAL UPDATED QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
, Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) A serial interface that transfers data in bursts instead of in parallel. It comes in
three varieties: 1.5 Gbps (SATA‐1.0), 3 Gbps (SATA‐2.0), and 6 Gbps (SATA 3.0).
These have maximum throughputs of 150 Mbps, 300 Mbps, and 600 Mbps,
respectively.
eSATA Extends SATA bus to external devices
Universal Serial Bus (USB) serial interface that is used to connect keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, and
removable media drives. Up to 127 peripherals can be connected to a single USB
port.
Provides enhanced performance over simple volumes. If Striped Volumes
a single physical disk in the striped volume fails, all of the
data in the entire volume is lost.
2 Partition Styles MBR (Master Boot Record)
GUID Partition Table (GID)
Disk Management Tool in the computer management snap-in to manage disks, partitions, and
volumees
Basic Disks Contain only simple volumes
Dynamic Disks Can contain simple, spanned, striped, and mirrored volumes
MBR partitions Limitations:
-MBR partitions are limited to 4 basic partitions with 2 TB each
-Up to 4 primary partitions or 3 primary with 1 extended (can be further divided)
-Single point of failure, could prevent computer from starting if it fails
GPT Partition Style more partitions and larger than MBR
-up to 128 primary
-9.4 zetabytes each with 512-byte sectors
Max raw GPT partition size 18 exabytes
GPT can be implemented on... Windows Server 2008 and newer and windows vista and newer. Cannot be used
on removable disks.
Simple Volume Uses free space on a single disk
Spanned Volume Extends simple volume across multiple disks (UP TO 32)
