RAID level 0, also known as striping, provides very good data performance because it spreads data across multiple disks, which can significantly increase speed for read and write operations. However, it does not offer fault tolerance or data redundancy. If any single disk fails in a RAID 0 setup, all data in the array is lost, making it unsuitable for mission-critical systems.
