Dual-channel.

Is there a RAID 0 Equivalent for RAM?
It's called interleaving. Simple implementations use two banks of RAM (two separate RAM sticks) but I've seen motherboards with up to four banks interleaved.
Like Raid 0, it exploits the fact that ...

Is there a RAID 0 Equivalent for RAM?
Yes, there's indeed an equivalent. But generally you just need to follow the instructions for your motherboard when adding RAM, and the setup will be automatic.
Technically this depends on your CPU, ...

What happens when you remove a drive from linux raid?
RAID 0 will implode as soon as a single disk fails, as the data is spread across the disks, regardless of the size the the partition/volume in comparison to the array (a volume that's 1/10th the size ...

If I remove one HDD from a RAID0-with-striping, is it impossible to read data from remaining HDD?
It's true that the array cannot be rebuilt with half of the data missing.
However, depending on the stripe size (4, 8, 16, 64kb etc), some data will still be visible on the remaining drive. Even the ...

When a RAID0 fails, can you still see all the file/folder names?
Probably not. Raid 0 stripes data across two drives - this increases speed (since you're roughly splitting disk accesses across two drives), and in a sense lets you use all of the capacity of the two ...
