Stripe size

acantril · 23 Dec 2008 at 10:13

I understand there is probably not a single answer to this question, but ive just ordered a pair of F1 320GB disks for a boot & apps raid volume. My question is what stripe size should i be looking at for this volume.

Any ideas ?

32 is best for benchmarking but 128 is best for large files which are generally used by games/windows, on that basis i went for 64 when i did my raid arrray

32kb always worked best for me

I'm using 32k now. I can't say I can see a difference between that and 128k in day to day stuff.
