2.1 RAID 0 for High Performance 

 

RAID 0(or Stripe) is the segmentation of logically sequential data, such as a single file, so that segments 

can be assigned to multiple hard disks in a round-robin fashion and thus written concurrently. (If any hard 

disk becomes defective, information stored in this RAID0 will be invalid.)
