    Cool Striping size for RAID

    I just went to a RAID-0 on my MB and I'm trying to figure out the best size for striping the data. I know alot of it depends on what you do with your comp. I do a fair amount of video and photo editing with some autocad thrown in for good measure. I regularly play alot of high demand games but I really don't think that I would notice alot of improvement by changing the stripe size for these except maybe load times.

    Any advice?

    The default on most cards (scsi anyway) is 64K, which is about average for most office or small graphic files. You need to choose the strip size that will be closest to the average size of the files you will be saving. Usually 64K or 128K is the best.

    I've got it set at 64k right now(default) so I guess that I will continue on with that. I was just making sure that I wasn't losing alot of performance by going with the stock settings.
    Thanks
