Test Question....Am I right or wrong?

Question

So I have taken the ISMv2 test a handful of times, and unless my brain is just fried from studying, I swear that I am answering this question right but it keeps marking it incorrect: A RAID set is created from eight disks. A RAID level 5 is implemented on the RAID set. If the strip size is 32 K, then what is the stripe size? 8x32=256k, correct? Please tell me if I am missing something...  Thanks Rich

Hi Rich, I believe with RAID5 you have to exclude one block for parity, so it would be a 224k stripe (7x32k). Best Regards, Patrick
