RAID 0 layout
RAID 0 bases on a striping method where the data blocks are written on the member disks in turn.
At least two disks are required to create the array.
RAID 0 can be implemented either using software (in modern versions of Windows or Linux) or using a controller.
The data in RAID 0 is written in the following way:
RAID 0 is not a redundant array, so if one of the member disks is damaged you cannot recover data.
The array provides a performance increase.
Read and write speeds increase by the factor of N (where N - a number of disks) as compared to a single disk.
RAID 0 is an inexpensive array type because it doesn't have a disk space overhead and it does not require a complicated controller.
