RAID Level 0 (Striping)

RAID 0 uses data striping, which is writing data in equal-sized segments across the physical disks. RAID 0 does not provide data redundancy.

RAID 0 characteristics:

Groups n disks as one large virtual disk with a capacity of (smallest disk size) *n disks.

Data is stored to the disks alternately.

No redundant data is stored. When a disk fails, the large virtual disk fails with no means of rebuilding the data.

Better read and write performance.

RAID Level 1 (Mirroring)

RAID 1 is the simplest form of maintaining redundant data. In RAID 1, data is mirrored or duplicated on one or more physical disks. If a physical disk fails, data can be rebuilt using the data from the other side of the mirror.
