RAID 0 – Stripe
When a RAID Volume 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 RAID Volume.
Identical drives are recommended for performance as well as data storage
efficiency.
The RAID Volume’s data capacity equals the capacity of the smallest disk drive
times the number of disk drives. For example, one 100 GB and three 120 GB drives
will form a 400 GB (4 x 100 GB) RAID Volume instead of 460 GB.
If disk drives of different capacities are used, there will also be unused capacity on
the larger drives.
Because RAID 0 does not offer Fault Tolerance, meaning that you cannot recover
your data after a disk drive failure, LevelOne does not recommend a RAID 0
Volume for your Network Storage.
RAID 0 Volumes on Network Storage consist of one or more disk drives.
