RAID 0 provides drive striping across all drives in the RAID drive group.
RAID 0 does not provide any data redundancy but does offer excellent
performance. RAID 0 is ideal for applications that require high bandwidth
but do not require fault tolerance. RAID 0 also denotes an independent
or single drive.
Note: RAID level 0 is not fault-tolerant. If a drive in a RAID 0 drive
group fails, the whole virtual drive (all drives associated
with the virtual drive) fails.
When you select Manual Configuration and click Next, the drive group
Definition screen appears. You use this screen to select drives to create
drive groups.
1. Hold <Ctrl> while selecting two or more ready drives in the Drives
panel on the left until you have selected all desired drives for the
drive group.
