Disadvantages of RAID 0
- It does not provide any fault tolerance as there is no redundancy. If any one disk fails then the entire data will be lost.
- It is not suitable for use in mission-critical systems.
Therefore, RAID 0 can be mostly used only in cases where maximum performance is required by the applications.
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.
