Selecting Stripe Block
For RAID 0 Striped arrays only, you may manually select the "stripe block size."
Use the Spacebar to scroll through choices progressing as follows (1, 2, 4, 8 , 16 . . .
1024).
The size selected affects how FastTrak100-Lite sends and retrieves data blocks
from the drives. You will need to perform your own testing to determine how the
data block size is affecting your particular use of the array. In general, a larger
block size is better when handling large data transfers (such as in A/V editing or
graphics) while a smaller block size is better when handling e-mail and other
common server data. The default is 64K.
