![]() ![]() And don’t worry, you won’t have to work out which is the fastest part of your disk, SoftRAID does that for you! So you can use the fastest part of each disk for your RAID 0 volume, and create another RAID volume (eg RAID 5, or RAID 1) with the rest of your disk space. If you need RAID 0 for access speed, always remember that SoftRAID allows you to have more than one RAID volume spread across your disks. With SoftRAID, these are RAID 1+0, RAID 4, RAID 5, and mirror (RAID 1) volumes (RAID 1 being the slowest, but safest option).Ĭombining RAID 0 with another RAID level for increased data safety ![]() There are other RAID solutions that are almost as fast and give you peace of mind knowing that, if a disk fails, your data is not lost. All disks fail at some point and with RAID 0 you’ll get no warning. ![]() RAID 0 should not be used for long-term storage as it won’t protect you against disk failure.Īlthough RAID 0 is super fast, it’s best used for temporary storage only. SoftRAID RAID 0, or stripe, volumes give you the fastest possible data access and are perfect for work that involves a large amount of uncompressed data such as in video or photo editing.Īlthough stripe volumes give you the fastest possible data access, they provide no protection from disk failure.* When a disk fails on a striped volume, you will lose all the files on the entire volume.īecause they offer no data protection, RAID 0 stripe volumes are perfect for scratch disks in video, audio or photographic editing, or any other time you need extremely fast data access for large data files or a huge volume of data. ![]()
