  1. The correct answer is C. M.2 allows faster data transfer rates compared to traditional hard drives. M.2 is a form factor that is commonly used for solid-state drives (SSDs) and offers faster data transfer speeds than traditional hard drives. M.2 supports both SATA and PCIe interfaces. Graphics cards typically use the PCIe form factor. M.2 can be used as a boot device.
  2. The correct answer is A. RAID 5 requires a minimum of three drives and distributes data and parity across multiple drives to provide fault tolerance. RAID 6 provides a higher level of fault tolerance with dual parity. RAID 0 offers increased read performance due to data striping without redundancy. RAID 5 does not require dedicated parity drives.
