Original practice questions written to match the exam's topic areas — not real exam questions.

1. Which RAID level provides disk mirroring across two drives?
RAID 1. It writes identical data to two drives for redundancy, unlike RAID 0, which stripes for performance with no redundancy.
2. Following CompTIA's troubleshooting methodology, what is the FIRST step when a user reports a problem?
Identify the problem — gather information, question the user, and determine what changed — before establishing a theory of probable cause.
3. Which port does HTTPS use by default?
TCP port 443. (Unencrypted HTTP uses port 80.)
