Offers no redundancy or fault tolerance, hence does not truly fit the "RAID" acronym. In level 0, data is striped across drives, resulting in higher data throughput. Since no redundant information is stored, performance is very good, but the failure of any disk in the array results in data loss. This level is commonly referred to as striping.
RAID level 0 single controller
RAID level 0 dual controller
Advantages
• RAID 0 offers a very high level of performance for both read and write operations.
• No parity bit to generate.
• Maximum storage capacity used, no disk used.
• Easy to implement.
Disadvantages
• Not fault tolerant as no it is not a "true RAID".
• A single drive failure will result in all data lost.
• Not recommend for mission critical systems.
Application
Pre-Press, Video editing and production, Image manipulation/editing, Ideal as a starter solution where high I/O performance is required more than file redundancy.
