RAID 0 Volume Examples

If you have more than one disk and each disk is on a separate controller, and you want to combine parts of each disk together into a larger volume, use a RAID 0 (stripe), as it will probably improve performance by providing some degree of parallel reads and writes.

Combining separate disks on the same controller into a RAID 0 (stripe) can also often help performance.

If you need to combine slices from a single disk into a larger volume, use a RAID 0 concatenation. Using a RAID 0 stripe in this case would actually cause reduced performance because parallel reads and writes against slices of a single disk would decrease net performance.

If you have multiple disks and controllers and need a large volume, construct RAID 0 stripes, then concatenate the RAID 0 stripe.
