RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. To have a RAID setup you need more than one physical disk drive. You can not use the same disk as the controller sends the read/write requests to more than one physical disk drive. RAID 0 used to be mainly used to create larger partitions by merging two or more smaller physical disks to a larger logical partition. It is used mainly now to speed up the disk read/write requests, which is what I think you are trying to do. The problem is that the drive can only move so much data regardless of whether it is part of a RAID array or not.

Even if you could, this would defeat the very intent of using RAID in the first place. The whole point of RAID is to protect against disk failures and / or combining performance, neither of which would be accomplished by what you're proposing.
