When to use raid 0

RAID 0 - Good if data is unimportant and can be lost, but performance is critical (such as with cache). RAID 1 - Good if you are looking to inexpensively gain additional data redundancy and/or read speeds. (This is a good base level for those looking to achieve high uptime and increase the performance of backups.)

When should you use RAID 0?

RAID 0 is used by those wanting the most speed out of two or more drives. Because the data is split across both drives, the speed of data reading and writing increases as more disks are added. Every drive has a limited lifespan and each disk adds another point of failure to the RAID.

When should you use RAID 0 vs RAID 1 and why?

Disadvantage of RAID 0 :\n\n The fault tolerance is compromised; data loss is higher as there is no space made available to store the redundant data. Any drive failure in the RAID 0, data loss is imminent.

What is the biggest disadvantage of RAID 0?

RAID 1 should be deployed for any mission critical servers. RAID 10: A RAID 10 configuration joins multiple RAID 1 arrays together using striping. This setup provides much more security and can withstand multiple drive failures. RAID 10 still provides excellent speed due to the striping.
