Final answer:
The correct answer is option A. The total available disk space for a RAID 0 striped volume created with a 500 GB disk and a 1.5 TB disk is 2 TB, as RAID 0 sums the capacities of the disks in the array.
Step-by-step explanation:
When creating a RAID 0 striped volume, the total amount of available disk space is the sum of the individual disk capacities that are part of the array. In this case, Disk 1 has a capacity of 500 GB and Disk 2 has a capacity of 1.5 TB (which is 1500 GB). Therefore, the total available disk space for the striped volume will be 500 GB + 1500 GB, which equals 2000 GB or 2 TB.
In a RAID 0 configuration, the total amount of available disk space is determined by the sum of the capacities of the individual disks. Since disk 1 stores 500 GB and disk 2 stores 1.5 TB (1500 GB), the total disk space for the striped volume would be 2 TB (2000 GB).
RAID 0, also known as striping, distributes data across multiple disks to improve performance but does not provide redundancy or data protection. It is important to note that in RAID 0, if one disk fails, all data in the striped volume may become inaccessible.
