The measurement of the Intel Raid 0 Volume was carried out on Windows. Similar read and write speeds could certainly be achieved with the Intel Raid 0 Volume under Linux and MacOS. Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the Intel Raid 0 Volume should be used.

An Intel RAID 0 volume is a configuration for organizing data on hard disks based on RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology. RAID 0 is often referred to as "striping" and offers certain advantages, but also disadvantages compared to other RAID configurations.
1. Description
RAID 0 is a method of improving data transfer rates by distributing data across two or more hard drives. This is achieved through the "striping" process of dividing data into equal-sized blocks and then writing the blocks to the different hard drives.
2. Technical details
- Minimum number of hard drives: 2
- Maximum number of hard drives: Technically there is no fixed upper limit, but in practice it is usually up to 8 or more.
- Stripe size: The size of the blocks of data that are distributed across each disk. Typical sizes range from 16 KB to 128 KB or more. A larger stripe size can improve performance for large files, while smaller sizes can perform better for many small files.
- Performance: The reading and writing speed is theoretically multiplied by the number of hard drives in the RAID 0 array. So with two hard drives you can expect about twice the speed compared to a single hard drive.
3. Functions
- Improved performance: RAID 0 offers faster read and write speeds compared to single hard drives because data is processed in parallel on multiple hard drives.
- Capacity: The total capacity of a RAID 0 volume is the sum of the capacities of all the hard drives involved. If two hard drives of 1 TB each are used in the RAID 0 array, the total capacity is 2 TB.
4. Areas of application
- Gaming: For high data transfer rates and fast loading times in modern games.
- Multimedia: When working with large files such as videos and high-resolution images, RAID 0 can significantly increase processing speed.
- High-performance computing: In environments where high data rates are required, e.g. in scientific simulations or data analysis.
5. Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
- Increased performance: Through parallel data processing on multiple hard drives.
- Full capacity utilization: All hard drive capacities are utilized.
Disadvantages:
- No redundancy: RAID 0 offers no protection against hard drive failure. A single hard drive failure will result in the loss of all data in the RAID 0 array.
- Increased Risk: The risk of data loss is higher than with RAID configurations with redundancy such as RAID 1 or RAID 5.
6. Setup and administration
- Intel RAID Controller: To set up an Intel RAID 0 volume, you need an Intel RAID controller or motherboard that supports RAID 0.
- BIOS/UEFI Configuration: RAID 0 volumes are often set up through the RAID configuration in the computer's BIOS or UEFI. Here, the stripe size and other parameters can be set.
- Software Management: Many Intel RAID controllers offer software tools to manage and monitor the RAID volume.
Overall, RAID 0 is an attractive choice for applications that benefit from higher data transfer rates, but it should be noted that it does not provide fault resistance. For important data or systems where data loss would be critical, other RAID configurations or additional backup solutions are recommended.
