RAID 0 – Stripe
When a logical drive is striped, the read and write blocks of data are interleaved
between the sectors of multiple disk 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. 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 100GB and three 120GB drives will form a 400GB (4 x 100GB)
logical drive instead of 460 GB.
