Why use RAID 0 if it offers no redundancy?

RAID 0 is used primarily for its performance benefits, as it stripes data across multiple disks, leading to faster read and write speeds. This configuration is ideal for applications that require high throughput, such as video editing or gaming, where speed is more critical than data redundancy. However, users must be aware that if one drive fails, all data in the array is lost, making it suitable only for non-critical data or in conjunction with regular backups.
