Hello,

I used to defend bigger stripe sizes for games because I thought my games mainly used big files, how wrong was I, I've just scanned my main game drive (45% of it's data are games) and this is the result:






As a result of this, I'm recommending a 16kb stripe size now for games ( or even considering going to an 8kb stripe myself), as obviously my 128kb stripe is missing out on A LOT of files.
 
Well given that RAID 0 hardly makes a bit of difference to game loading times on titles that use large files, and stripe size makes even less of a difference it seems quite pointless to worry about it...
