Scenario—RAID 0 (Concatenation)

Figure 7–2 illustrates a concatenation that is made of three components (slices).

The data blocks, or chunks, are written sequentially across the components, beginning with Disk A. Disk A can be envisioned as containing logical chunks 1 through 4. Logical chunk 5 would be written to Disk B, which would contain logical chunks 5 through 8. Logical chunk 9 would be written to Drive C, which would contain chunks 9 through 12. The total capacity of volume d1 would be the combined capacities of the three drives. If each drive were 2 Gbytes, volume d1 would have an overall capacity of 6 Gbytes.
