Each disk contains only part of the volume. Stripe volumes, also known as RAID 0 volumes, spread the data for a volume over 2 or more disks. For that reason, and because a stripe volume isn’t protected against disk failure, RAID 0 is NOT a viable alternative for permanent storage Over time, that risk increases-our calculations show on average a 25% risk of a disk failure within 10 years with a four disk RAID2. ![]() When considering using RAID 0, it’s important to remember that all disks can fail, even one that is considered ‘reliable’. Stripe volumes are great for scratch files or when you have readily available backups of the files on your volume. When a disk fails on a stripe volume, you will lose all the files on the volume. However, they provide no protection from disk failure. ![]() SoftRAID stripe volumes give you the highest possible performance.
