RAID Definition
RAID 0 (Striping)
RAID 0 (Striping) is a performance-oriented, non-redundant data mapping technique. It combines multiple
drives into a single logical unit. Instead of viewing several different drives, the operating system sees only one
large drive. Striping splits data evenly across two or more disks simultaneously, dramatically increasing
performance.
Striping can be implemented in disks of differing sizes, but the storage space added to the array by each disk is
limited to the size of the smallest disk. Although Striping is an easily implemented simple configuration,
Striping should never be used for mission critical applications. The speed of operation is excellent in
comparison to other RAID modes.
In Striping mode, it is not possible to see the HDDs as more than one unit. If you choose to insert all 4
HDDs, it will still be viewed as one single storage unit. When you choose to insert only two HDDs,
there is not limitation on the order of drive insertion or
the slot number.
In Striping mode, if one disk in the RAID System fails, all data in installed disks (HDD or SSD) will be
lost.
When operating under Striping mode, it is not recommended to do HDD Hot Swap. Any attempt to do
so may result in complete loss of all data.
