H.1 RAID 0

RAID 0, or striping, spreads data evenly over the disks in the RAID array. One block of

data is written to the first disk, then one block of data is written to the second disk, and so

on. The same applies for data reads.

RAID 0 offers faster performance than a single disk setup. Read and write performance is

increased. RAID 0 is not as secure as a single disk, and the failure of just one disk in the

array results in failure of the whole array.

The logical RAID volume below shows the disk drive that the operating system would see.

The physical disks show the disks that are contained in the RAID volume.
