best settings for RAID 0

[juno_first]

I've gone from RAID 0 x2 drives to 4 drives now & although sandra reports mb/sec from 106 to 195 I dont notice much difference in general use & copying large files across the drives is not fast & loud.

I first setup the RAID 0 using optimal stripe size in nforce4 bios, was that the best setting? as there was also 128kb etc.

Yeah I noticed extracting RARs to be a lot faster & I can burn DVD at x8 & copy files around etc.
I expected games to load twice as fast anyway I'd deffo advise anyone to go RAID as drives are so cheap these days.

I've just noticed comparing 1 drive to RAID that when playing mkv HD videos: when moving the search bar in vlc player the video catches up almost instantly, whereas with 1 drive it takes a minute if at all.
