RAID 0

Disk striping

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.

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

RAID 0 single controller

RAID level 0 single controller

RAID 0 double controller

RAID level 0 dual controller

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.
