Striping (RAID 0)
Striping refers to the storing of a sequential block of incoming data across
multiple drives in a drive group. For example, if there are three drives in a
drive group (or pack), the data will be separated into blocks. Block one of
the data will be stored on drive one, block two on drive two, block three on
drive three. Drive one will again be the location of the next block (block
four); then, block five is stored on drive two, block six on drive three, and
so on. This method can significantly increase disk system throughput,
particularly for transferring large, sequential data blocks.
