RAID 0 (Striped RAID)
Last edited by anonymous on January 7, 2011
The first level of RAID is RAID 0, commonly referred to as striped RAID. This level of RAID is only for users looking for speed. RAID 0 requires at least two drives. RAID 0 is very dangerous for users looking for reliability. If one disk in the RAID array dies the whole array is trashed. Generally the more disks in the array the faster read and write times will be, but the greater the chance of the array failing. The size of a RAID 0 array is the size of all the drives in the array combined.
