RAID 0:
The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0
array system. It breaks up a large file into smaller blocks and
performs disk reads and writes across multiple drives in parallel.
performs disk reads and writes across multiple drives in parallel.
The size of each block is determined by the stripe size
parameter, which you set during the creation of the RAID set

overall disk access time and offers high bandwidth.
Features and Benefits
Drives: Minimum 1, and maximum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on
the platf orm.
Uses: Intended for non-critical data requiring high data
throughput, or any environment that does not require fault
throughput, or any environment that does not require fault
tolerance.
Benefits: prov ides increased data throughput, especially f or
large f iles. No capacity loss penalty for parity.
Drawbacks: Does not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in
the array f ails, all data is lost.

Fault Tolerance: No.
