C.3. RAID 0
RAID 0 implements block striping where data is broken into logical blocks
and striped across several drives. Although called RAID 0, this is not a true
implementation of RAID because there is no facility for redundancy. In the
event of a disk failure, data is lost.
In block striping, the total disk capacity is equivalent to the sum of the
capacities of all drives in the array. This combination of drives appears to
the system as a single logical drive.
RAID 0 provides the highest performance without redundancy. It is fast
because data can be simultaneously transferred to/from multiple disks.
Furthermore, read/writes to different drives can be processed concurrently.
