Over what?
Advantages of RAID 0 over single disks:
single disk capacity is doubled (2 160Gb disks = 320GB data), read and write is faster (nearly double, limited by controller throughput).
Disadvantage: more data to lose. If you lose 1 disk, you lose the data on both.
Raid 1 advantage: read speed is increased, kust like RAID0. Redundancy, you can lose either disk and not lose any data.
Disadvantage: you get the capacity of a single disk, so 2 160GB disks = 160GB data. Write speed is slowed, but not too bad.

A RAID 0 (also known as a stripe set or striped volume) splits data evenly across two or more disks (striped) with no parity information for redundancy. It is important to note that RAID 0 was not one of the original RAID levels and provides zero redundancy. RAID 0 is normally used to increase performance, although it can also be used as a way to create a small number of large virtual disks out of a large number of small physical ones.
IT IS FASTER!!!

RAID 0 only gives you spanning of drives for extra storage space. This is not usually a good solution as if one of the hard drives dies you lose all the data on both. RAID 1 (Mirroring) is a much better solution as you can lose one of the drives and still function. Of course it costs more money because for 300GB you would need (2) 300GB drives...
The advantage of RAID 0 would only be a bigger drive.

raid 0 advantage is read and write SPEED. But as the person before me put it, if 1 disk fails you loose all.
