- RAID 0 implements a striped disk array, the data is broken down into blocks and each block is written to a separate disk drive
- I/O performance is greatly improved by spreading the I/O load across many channels and drives
- Best performance is achieved when data is striped across multiple controllers with only one drive per controller
- No parity calculation overhead is involved
- Very simple design
- Easy to implement
|
- Not a "True" RAID because it is NOT fault-tolerant
- The failure of just one drive will result in all data in an array being lost
- Should never be used in mission critical environments
