Raid 0RAID 0 is an abbreviation of the Redundant Array of Independent Disk level 0. Raid 0 is also called striped volume or stripe set or disk striping. Raid 0 is a standard level, which does not consist of mirroring or parity, but only consists of striping for handling the data. This level needs at least two disks for processing. In the system of Raid 0, data is split into small blocks (strips), and then the data is written to two or more drives parallelly in the array. This level increases the speed and improves the Input/Output performance by using the multiple disks simultaneously. The read and write operation on the data in RAID 0 is faster. It does not offer redundancy and fault tolerance in the data. The main disadvantage of this level is that, if any of the drives fail due to some reason, then all the data on that drive is lost. And, the lost data cannot be backed up or accessed. This disk level is the right choice in those situations when a large volume of high-speed storage is required.
