RAID level 0, which is the fastest drive array you can have, is a performance-oriented disk mapping method. The data in this
array gets written across a stripe or different disks for a faster transfer. This technique has striping but no redundancy of data. It
offers the best performance but no fault-tolerance. Reads and writes sector 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 members times the
smallest member capacity. For example, one 40GB and one 60GB drives will form an 80GB (40GBx2) disk array.
