Disk Striping - HP Vectra XW Optimization Manual

Disk Striping

Under Windows NT your Personal Workstation's integrated SCSI
controller is able to improve the performance of your SCSI hard disk
drives by using disk striping. This is a method of grouping multiple disk
drives together so that they seem, to the user, as a single (logical) disk.
Data is stored across these multiple disk drives in stripes of equal size;
the first stripe is stored on the first drive in the group, the second
stripe on the second drive and so forth.

The advantage of disk striping is that it significantly reduces the impact
of your disk drives' main performance limitation which is the interface
between the SCSI channel and the hard disk drive.
