Advantages of RAID 0
- RAID 0 provides high performance. The disks are independent and therefore we can parallelly read and write into a block of data present in different disks. Therefore, read and write operations are faster.
- The cost incurred in RAID 0 is low.
- The entire storage capacity of the disk is utilized in RAID 0 as there is no concept of parity. So, the entire capacity of the disk is only used for storing data.
- The technology is simple and easy to implement.
Disk Stripping (RAID 0)
RAID 0 stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks 0. RAID 0, also known as disk stripping, Disk Stripping is the technique of breaking data into multiple blocks and storing those blocks on several storage disks. A minimum of 2 disks are used in RAID 0. RAID 0 does not provide data redundancy and therefore may be used for temporary storage of data where the original data is recoverable from any other storage device.
Supposing we have data named D and we break it into multiple blocks of data namely D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, and D6, and store them into different disks. Below is a diagram depicting the said statement thereby explaining the concept of RAID 0.
