Striped Volume

A striped volume is part of the dynamic disk storage family. It requires the use of two or more dynamic disks and up to 32 dynamic disks. One of the benefits of using striped volumes is that you are able to break up the information of a file and store it on multiple dynamic disks to increase speed of saving a file. One down side is that it is not fault tolerant, and if a disk in the striped volume fails you loose the whole volume.
