3.2.1 Stripe Mode

This mode needs a pair of hard drives at least. After selection, you have to to deter-
mine the hard drives' stripe block size. That depends on the size of files the array
intends to access in order to use the hard drives fully. For example, you can select
a larger stripe size for the array whose image files you will frequently access. If
there isn't any special use, you are suggested to set as 64K.
