hey guys, i'm goin to set up two Raptors in Raid0 array.. any tips on the cluster/stripe size? OR is there a sticky for Silicon Image's raid settings?

thanks all :)


EDIT: whats a good Imaging tool for Raptors? I have a 40GB back up hdd where can make an image of my current OS/software setup
 
Well the way I was told it just depends on what you are doing with it... I'm doing editing and was told to set the strip size to 128K... whether that is right or not I don't know. 16K was for lots of speed but I do editing and moving larger chunks is more important when diving through many a gig of edited DV quality movies. I've loved my drives in RAID 0 and they do seriously smoke.. when I play games at LAN parties mine is always the first loaded....even over many of the scsi systems.

I've never made an image of mine but that is probably b/c I'm lazy... I've alwasy heard norton ghost was a good tool to use but I'm sure there are plenty of free ones somewhere on the net too that do the job....

Enjoy the raptors... they are a lot of fun
 
Thanks :).. yep i think i'll go for 16k stripe and 16k clusters = Max. speed :D .. I found WD's Data lifeguard imaging tool, but it won't run on my system :mad: ..
