Depends, but there is usually always a certain amount of "loss in multiplicator" effect, but for all practical purposes it's twice as fast if you substitute one disk for two using RAID0. Provided, of course that there is enough bandwith on the bus and the CPU/RAM can keep up. However, there is no redundancy in a RAID0 set, hence it's more commonly referred to as striping. Actually, introducing RAID0 increases the probability of a disk crash (and hence data loss without propper backup) by the increase in disks. -Frode
