Does a stripe volume mean RAID 0?

[mrphillyblunt]

I'm creating a volume made up of 3 drives, but none are the same size, so I can't do any other kind. I'm wondering if this is in essence making them like a RAID 0 setup where data is striped across all drives and if one is lost, they all are. Can anyone clarify?

It's similar and yes, should any one of the 3 drives fail, you would lose the volume. You could minimize the risk by creating 3 separate one disk volumes. Failure of a single disk wouldn't affect the others.

Thanks for the response.

Sure you can use other RAID types. You'll just need to use the Manual Setup button in the Volume Manager.

What sizes are they?
