📌 RAID 0

Warning: Configuring RAID 0 will result in the complete loss of data on the disks participating in RAID 0. Please back up your data on the disks you intend to configure before setting up RAID 0.

✳️ Prerquisistes

🔸 The number of disks is greater than or equal to 2

🔸If the disks have different capacities, the system will use the capacity of the smallest disk.

✳️ Advantages of RAID 0:

🔸Enhanced Performance: Data is divided and stored simultaneously across multiple drives, improving read/write capabilities and system performance.

🔸 Increased Storage Capacity: The total storage capacity is the sum of all drives, providing more storage space compared to a single drive.

✳️ Disadvantages of RAID 0:

🔸No Data Protection: Loss of a single drive can lead to the complete loss of data, as there is no backup or redundancy.

🔸Increased Data Vulnerability: Because data is striped across multiple drives, a failure in one drive can result in data corruption or loss.

🔸Not Suitable for Data-Sensitive Applications: RAID 0 is not recommended for situations where data integrity is crucial, such as in enterprise environments where data stability is paramount.

Is there any hardware limitation on this? I took off two disks from a 3 disks pool in raid 0 from another machine, cause I wanted to make a new raid 0 with those 2 on a less powerful machine. The raid creation keeps failing, having an error saying disk1 cannot be found. If instead I create a new simple volume on each disk separately, everything goes fine and they actually work.
