RAID 0 (Striping)
RAID 0 (Striping) is a performance-oriented, non-redundant data mapping
technique. It combines multiple hard drives into a single logical unit. Instead of
seeing several different hard drives, the operating system sees only one large
drive. Striping splits data evenly across two or more disks simultaneously,
dramatically increasing performance.
Striping can be implemented in disks of differing sizes, but the storage space
added to the array by each disk is limited to the size of the smallest disk.
Although Striping is an easily implemented and simple configuration, Striping
should never be used for mission critical applications. The speed of operation is
fast in comparison to other RAID modes.

In Striping mode, if one disk in the RAID System fails, all data in both
installed disks will be lost.
When operating under Striping mode, it is not recommended to do HDD

. Any attempt to do so may result in complete loss of all data.
