    , the RAID controller can use both SAS drive and SATA drives to read or write the file faster. RAID 0 involves no parity calculations to complicate the write operation. This makes RAID 0 ideal for applications that require high bandwidth but do not require fault tolerance. RAID 0 RAID Adapter Uses
