Mostly server uses RAID configurations by the requirements. Some will use RAID 1 for its best redundancy while some will use RAID 5 for the stability. While we talk about RAID configurations RAID 0 or best known as striping array configuration is used for its performance. While it gives the best performance and data access rates, RAID 0 lacks redundancy.
RAID 0 configuration generally splits the data load in its member drives. So while writing the data, the workload is divided into two hard disks, which allow hard drive for faster access and data rate.
When a hard drive in RAID-0 fails, then the entire array will go down with it as few of the critical files would be on that drive too. In these cases, we need to repair each disk manually. Then the recovery process is performed, and in the end, our engineer rebuilds the whole array.
Generally, we receive RAID 0 cases where the RAID configuration is incorrect because the company thought they are using the mirroring RAID 1 configuration. RAID 0 is default configuration used in Western Digital My Book Drives.
RAID 0 is preferable if you are a gamer or you require to boot an operating system from it. In contrast, for data storage and stability, other raid configurations are recommended.
If a RAID 0 fails or one of the hard drives fails then your system will not boot up. Trying to use the hard drives furthermore will damage the system more. So to avoid further data loss one should turn off the system and contact Geeks at Help for a quick and easy recovery.
