Question

You have a server named Server1.
You plan to use Storage Spaces to expand the storage available to Server1. You attach eight physical disks to Server1. Four disks are HDDs and four are SSDs.
You need to create a volume on Server1 that will use the storage on all the new disks. The solution must provide the fastest read performance for frequently used files.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

The main steps in the process are: Create AD DS environment. Create a single-domain AD DS forest with a domain member configured as a file server with four data disks. Create a storage pool. Use Server Manager to create a storage pool. Create a mirrored virtual disk hosting a single volume by using Server Manager. Use Server Manager to create a mirrored virtual disk hosting a single volume.

Create a storage pool. (This combines the HDDs and SSDs into a single pool of storage.) Create a virtual disk. (This is done within the storage pool and allows you to configure the type of resiliency, size, and tiering for performance.) Create a simple volume. (This is done on the virtual disk you created and allows you to assign a drive letter and use the storage.) You do not need to convert disks into dynamic or GPT disks for this specific scenario.
