Fault tolerance: 1 controller, 3 disks. Requirement is to keep data off System Partition, optimise reads and optimise the amount of disk space used for fault tolerance. My immediate reaction was Stripe Set with Parity, but this requires 3 disks and if you keep data off the system partition that only leaves two disks. However, on further thought the system partition may only take a portion of disk 1 leaving the rest of disk 1 for data, so Stripe Set with Parity is the answer.

2 controllers, 2 disks – which method gives the greatest fault tolerance?
Answer: Hardware Mirror or Hardware Duplex.
