RAID 0 – Stripe
When a logical drive is striped, the read and write blocks of data are interleaved
between the sectors of multiple physical drives. Performance is increased, since
the workload is balanced between drives or “members” that form the logical drive.
Identical drives are recommended for performance as well as data storage
efficiency.
Figure 1. RAID 0 interleaves data across two physical drives
The logical drive's data capacity is equal to the number of drive members
multiplied by the smallest logical drive member's capacity. For example, one 100
GB and three 120 GB drives will form a 400 GB (4 x 100GB) logical drive instead
of 460 GB.
RAID 0 logical drives on the AMD SB6xx/SB7xx Controller consist of two or more
physical drives.
