Logical Drive Parameters; Easy Configuration - Acer Altos G310 MK2 Series Manual

Logical drive parameters

For the logical drive you can change the RAID level and stripe size. The
table below contains descriptions of the logical drive parameters.
Parameter Description
RAID level The number of physical drives in a specific array
determines the RAID levels that can be implemented
with the array.
RAID 0 requires one or two physical drives.
RAID 1 requires exactly two physical drives.
Stripe size The stripe size parameter specifies the size of the
segment written to each disk in a RAID configuration.
You can set the stripe size to 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128
Kbytes. The default is 64 Kbytes.
A larger stripe size produces higher read
performance. If your computer regularly performs
random read requests, choose a smaller stripe size.
