Question2) Using the Critical Thinking Process, Assume that you have a mixed configuration comprising disks organized as RAID level 1 and RAID level 5 disks. Assume that the system has flexibility in deciding which disk organization to use for storing a particular file. Which files should be stored in the RAID level 1 disks and which in the RAID level 5 disks in order to optimize performance?

NOTE: Since performance is characterized by several criteria, and there are two options given (small and large), applying the Critical Thinking Process is expected here. Small files would be those small than one block size, and large would be those larger than one block size)

In this format:

For example:

Critical Thinking Process Purpose: To analyze and critically weigh alternatives, discussing the trade-offs in different perspectives An approach to making informed, unemotional decisions to is employ the following 4 step process: A) Identify your options Create a list of option names, and if necessary provide a short description B) Establish your criteria for this particular situation Create a list of criteria names, and if necessary provide a short description, of the criteria you will use to decide what option best fits your situation. Include options from all stakeholders including the Customer's perspective (the one with the money buying or product or paying you to build the product) and from the Chief Engineer's perspective (the one responsible for ensuring the product meets all the ities (usability, scalability, quality, maintainability, et), key performance metrics, and requirements). Good criteria are stated as a benefit to the stakeholder and answer the "so what? question. C) Weigh your options against your criteria Create a table with your criteria as columns and options as rows. Populate the table. If populoting with relative numerical scores, add a column for total score. If populating with narrative, include the criteria's relative value to the stakeholder D) Select and defend your option Affirmatively select one of the items from your list of options in step A). You are the decision maker and are selecting right now, so avoid words like "suggest..., recommend... or l would..., etc. For example,say something like "1 am going with option coption number and name> because." Be certoin the criteria established in step B) and weighed in step c) appear in your rationale
