Best stripe size for Raid 0

[wilber]

I just bought a couple of WD 750GB Black HDD's and windows 7, This is my first time setting up a raid array. What would you suggest the best stripe size would be for me? My machine runs windows 7 64bit and is pretty much a gaming rig.

Cheers

128K for storage
64K for OS

So in your case probably 128K

Agreed 128K would be best for the intended use.

For general usage, ie os, 32KB stripe, however, you will notice relatively no performance increase for the loading of games over using a single HDD...

I have 2x300Gb Raptors in RAID0 & the stripe is 128K.

Yes they do generally, it's just some games don't seem to though.
