DESCRIPTION:
"So good on theory that it loses focuses on the little details for the exam." according to Johnathan Petricini. I am writing this review in comparison with the Storage+ certification exam.There is no doubt that the content in this book is awesome. This book is heavy on theory and does a great job of explaining how the technologies work. I took the exam two days ago and passed (not the greatest score but I'll take it). The materials I used were this book, Pluralsight (which is this book in audible format), and the uCertify package featured on the CompTIA site. I'll give my two cents about the latter and focus on the book at the moment.An area that the book does not focus on are specifications. Having taken some CompTI. I passed the Storage+ with the help of this book Katrina As many other reviewers have, I also purchased this book for the purpose of passing the Storage+. I'm happy to say that I successfully passed the test on the first try with an 804. A quick note about my background, I've been in IT for 6+ years as a server admin, I have my Server+, A+, and Security+ and the only storage experience I have is setting up a small SAN in at current position. The only study materials I used were this book, the accompanying test questions and flashcards, and random practice questions I found after doing many Google searches. Since this is a review for the book, I'll try to be as th. Mike said Simply a great book!. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about storage. I picked this up to help me to fill a gap in my knowledge (storage) and to prepare for the Storage+ exam. I'm glad I did. Nigel really knows his stuff. As another reviewer stated, he explains concepts in plain English and makes it easy to understand.This book is truly a very enjoyable read. If you're looking for a great book on data storage, look no further.I look forward to checking out Nigel's video training on Pluralsight, as well.
