RAID 0 performance advice may be inaccurate

      I'm a little bit confused by the RAID section of Production Notes
      Here it says

      Avoid RAID-0 with MongoDB deployments. While RAID-0 provides good write performance, it also provides limited availability and can lead to reduced performance on read operations, particularly when using Amazon’s EBS volumes.

      To my understanding usually RAID-0 should work better than single disk, both read and write. Then why does it lead to reduced performance? Is there any specific reason?

      Scope

      Remove the clause from master -> 3.4
