11.3 R00 mode

Function:
In R00 mode the data is spread across all hard disks.

Example 1

Advantage/disadvantage:
R00 mode represents the best data speed but no data redundancy. R00 mode accelerates
hard disk drive operating speed by using many disks simultaneously.
To implement the R00 mode, the 8-BAY RAID STATION Storage creates two single virtual
volumes (SYS1 and SYS2) that are striped across all hard drives of SYS1 and SYS2, with
a storage capacity that is four times of the smallest drive. SYS1 and SYS2 are then
striped again across both virtual volumes. The storage capacity is twice the capacity
of the smallest virtual volume.
