I'm in the process of setting up raid0 on my new build with two 500gb drives but i'm unsure about stripe size, the default setting is 128kb, should i leave it at this figure or go for a lower value, the rig is for gaming mostly so would 64kb be better
Im a firm beleiver in 128kb becasue the cpu/raid controller has to do less calculations resulting in higher desktop performance.
However here is great guide on raid stripe sizes so you can decide for yourself. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/raid-scaling-charts,1735.html
