Stripe Size on RAID 0

[JeffB]

Should I just go with a 4k stripe size on my RAID 0 of 36gig Raptors?

It will be used for my OS, games, and the occasional video/picture editting.

I would go waaaaay bigger than that.
How many Raptors?

 

[JeffB]

I've got 2 raptors.

So, any reasons as to choosing the size? I know that a bigger stripe size is good for editing, while smaller is better for gaming.

I think 4k is still way on the small side...
Check out www.pcguide.com.
They have a great section on RAID.

Alright, I think I'll use a 16k stripe size.
