RAID 0
RAID 0
A RAID 0 configuration provides data striping, but there is no protection against data loss when a drive fails. However, it is useful for
rapid storage of large amounts of noncritical data (for printing or image editing, for example) or when cost is the most important
consideration. The minimum number of drives required is one.
The maximum number of drives supported for RAID 0 is 32.
This method has the following benefits:
It is useful when performance and low cost are more important than data protection.
It has the highest write performance of all RAID methods.
It has the lowest cost per unit of stored data of all RAID methods.
It uses the entire drive capacity to store data (none allocated for fault tolerance).
