About RAID Levels
Striping (RAID 0)
Reads and writes sectors of data interleaved between multiple drives. When any disk member fails, it
affects the entire array. Performance is better than a single drive since the workload is balanced
between the array members. This array type is for high performance systems. Identical drives are
recommended for performance as well as data storage efficiency. The disk array data capacity is
equal to the number of drive members times the smallest member capacity. For example, one 1GB
and 1 drives will form a 2GB (2 x 1GB) disk array.
Stripe Size - a value can be set from 1KB to 1024KB sector size. The size can directly affect
performance. In the FastBuild BIOS, the "Desktop" default is 8KB while "Server" and "A/V Editing"
are 64KB.
