Description
Identical drives reading and writing data in parallel to
increase performance. RAID 0 implements a striped disk
array and the data is broken into blocks and each block is
written to a separate drive.
Identical drives in a mirrored configuration used to protect
data. Should a drive that is part of a mirrored array fail, the
mirrored drive (which contains identical data) will handle all
the data. When a new replacement drive is installed, data
to the new drive is rebuilt from the mirrored drive to restore
fault tolerance.
