RAID 0 (Striping)

 RAID 0

In a RAID 0 system data are split up into blocks that get written across all the drives in the array. By using multiple disks (at least 2) at the same time, this offers superior I/O performance. This performance can be enhanced further by using multiple controllers, ideally one controller per disk.

Advantages of RAID 0
·    RAID 0 offers great performance, both in read and write operations. There is no overhead caused by parity controls.
·    All storage capacity is used, there is no overhead.
·    The technology is easy to implement.

Disadvantages of RAID 0
·    RAID 0 is not fault-tolerant. If one drive fails, all data in the RAID 0 array are lost. It should not be used for mission-critical systems.

Ideal use

RAID 0 is ideal for non-critical storage of data that have to be read/written at a high speed.
