Disks in a JBOD configuration store data sequentially. For example, data is written to Disk 1 first. Once Disk 1 is full, data will be written to Disk 2. Two advantages to this level of RAID are the availability of 100% of the disks' total storage capacity and easy expansion. However, all data will be lost if a single disk fails.

RAID 0 is the fastest RAID mode since it writes data across both of the volume's disks. The capacities of each disk are also added together for optimal data storage. While RAID 0 gives you higher performance and data capacity than RAID 1, it lacks data protection. If one disk fails, all data becomes inaccessible.

RAID 1 provides enhanced data security since all data is written to each disk in the volume. If a single disk fails, data remains available on the other disk in the volume. However, due to the time it takes to write data twice, performance is reduced when compared with RAID 0. Additionally, RAID 1 reduces the available disk space by 50% since each bit of data is stored on both disks in the volume.
