RAID 0—Data is not duplicated across all drives. This results in faster transfers and more storage, since the full capacity of all drives can be used to store data. However, RAID 0 lacks data protection. If a single drive fails, all data in the array is lost. Volume initialization is not required. RAID 5—Data is written in blocks across all drives, with some storage used to provide redundancy. -
