We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

RAID Stripe size?

Hello,
I am installing 2 250 gig drives in a raid 0 format. What stripe size should I use?

Depends on what you are going to be storing on that (potential crash and burn) array.

If it's large files (mp3's and movies) go for a large stripe size, like 32k or 64k. Also remember to change your cluster size when formatting it.

If it's going to be an OS drive but partitioned, 16k seems to yield nice results.

I'd do some testing and seriously consider not putting them in a RAID 0 unless you can safely back the entire array up.
