Advantages Disadvantages
High Read data transaction rate
Medium Write data transaction rate
Good aggregate transfer rate

whose segments are striped logical
drives
High I/O rates are achieved thanks to
multiple stripe segments

Advantages Disadvantages
Easy management of multiple
independent physical drives
No increase in performance, capacity or
fault tolerance.
