l Data fills up the first disk before it is written to the second disk.

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:
l Groups n disks as one large virtual disk with a capacity of (smallest disk size)*n disks.
l Data is stored to the disks alternately.
l No redundancy data is kept. When a disk fails, the large virtual disk fails with no means of rebuilding the data.
l Better read and write performance.
