RAID 0

Striping is the automated process of writing data across multiple drives simulteneously. Striping is used to increase the performance of disk reads. When using striping, if you write a 5GB file across 5 drives, 1GB of data is written to each drive. Parallel reading of data from multiple disks can have a significant positive impact on performance, because the physical disk drive is most often the performance bottleneck. Striping is used in RAID Level 0. If one drive in a striped set fails, all of the data in the stripe set is lost. The data must be restored from backup. Because of this, striping is often combined with the use of parity (RAID 5) or mirroring

if one disk fails,data contained on that disk is unavailable

Disk duplexing requires writing the same data twice and requires an extra controller.Disk striping with parity only writes once and requires only one controller. Although the parity information in disk striping with parity does take up some space, it does not take up as much space as the duplicate data in disk duplexing.therefore,disk duplexing is more expensive.

Harry Hess proposed an explanation that tied together data on the age of ocean rocks, sediment thickness, and magnetic striping.
