RAID 0 Arrays (Striped)
Data blocks alternated between drives
• Raid 0=Striped
• Data is interleaved among the physical disks
o Data writes and reads are parallel
o Offering maximum hard disk performance
• All physical space is available (for example, two 40GB drives shown as one 80GB
volume in OS)
• Single hard drive failure results in loss of all data
• Perfect for applications requiring best possible hard drive/application performance
