I'm setting up a Raid6 array with 8 Samsung F4 2TB drives running on a Promise 8350 controller to store my many video files. I'm a little bit confused about the array settings I should used.

It's my understanding that the Samsung drives are not native 4k sector drive but use 512e, so what Sector size should I use in the array config? 512 or 4096?

While we're at it what should I use for stripe size and ntfs cluster size?

Thanks!
 
They are native 4096 sector drives just like all other 4K advanced format dirves. Even though they are 4K internally they lie to the OS and say that they are 512 byte sectors. The correct answer is probably 4096 then but I do not have any promise cards anymore.
