🚀 RAID 0, also known as disk striping, is a configuration that focuses on speed and performance by spreading data across multiple drives. Unlike other RAID levels, it doesn’t offer redundancy—so it’s fast, but risky.

⚙️ How It Works

• Striping: Data is split into blocks and distributed evenly across two or more drives.
• Parallel access: Multiple drives work together to read/write data simultaneously, boosting performance.

📈 Benefits

• High speed: Excellent for tasks like video editing, gaming, or scientific computing where fast data access is key.
• Full capacity usage: All disk space is usable—no overhead from parity or mirroring.
• Simple setup: Easy to implement with basic hardware or software RAID controllers.

⚠️ Drawbacks

• No fault tolerance: If one drive fails, all data is lost.
• Higher risk: More drives = greater chance of failure.
• Not for critical data: Best used for temporary or non-essential files.

🧪 Ideal Use Cases

• Video editing workstations
• Gaming rigs
• Scratch disks for temporary data
• Non-critical performance-heavy environments

RAID 0 is like a race car—built for speed, but not for safety.
