RAID 0 is very popular RAID levels, which not only used in servers, but also in external storage devices such as external hard drives and NAS units found (NAS). The manufacturers of external hard drives with RAID 0 to increase the capacity of its shares to the consumer. An example is the manufacturer of the LaCie external hard drive. LaCie is a RAID 0 in many of its products, including LaCie BigDisk Extreme LaCie Bigger Disk Extreme.

While benefits RAID 0 is not fault tolerant. Failure of a disk array can cause the complete loss of data. This is due to the fact that the RAID 0 uses a method called striping. Striping writes data in blocks of the same size in each partition of the matrix. All drives in the array must operate in order to read the data. Most server administrators to recognize the risks of RAID 0 and frequent backups of their behaviorData on the number of users of high-capacity hard drive (like those mentioned above) do not know how to use RAID-0-units. These users are surprised to learn that can be a failure of a single disk can make their data can be restored.

When a RAID 0 hard drive fails, it is important that the power of servers and storage unit and contact a data recovery company. The disk must not be repaired to its original state, to recover data from RAID 0 array. If morea disk fails, data recovery is possible, but the chances of a recovery back. To prevent data loss while RAID-0 devices or servers with RAID 0, it is important to perform regular backups of data.
