Thread: What RAID 0 Stripe Size Do You Use?

  1. #1

    Question What RAID 0 Stripe Size Do You Use?

    I just converted my Ultra66 and Ultra100 cards to Fasttrak66 and Fasttrak100 RAID cards. I will have two more 40G harddrives soon. I'm wondering what stripe sizes have provided the best performance boost.

    For my time, I play games, officeXP work, and do video editting.

    I use 64, but I didn't vote since I do not know if this is the optimal size. I once saw a very extensive test by a guy who ran benchmarks of every size, and I think he came to the conclusion that 32 or 64 was best overall.
    My drives feel very fast (2 x IBM 60gb 120gxp) and when I benchmark in Sandra I get a score of 55,000, so I'm happy with this cluster size.
