RAID 0

Disk striping across two or more drives for maximum performance and capacity with no redundancy.

Definition

Data is split into stripes written across all members, so usable capacity equals the total of all drives. The failure of any single drive destroys the entire array.

Example

Two 2 TB drives in RAID 0 provide 4 TB of fast scratch space for video rendering.

Exam tip

RAID 0 has zero fault tolerance despite the RAID name.
