Introduction
Striping and Stripe Size
Striping writes data across two or more disk drives to a defined depth.
The stripe width is the number of drives within a drive group.
The stripe order is the order in which the SCSI drives appear within a drive
group. It is critical that the selected stripe order is always maintained, to assure
data integrity and the controller's ability to rebuild failed drives.
The stripe size is the size of the logically contiguous data block recorded on each
drive within a logical unit. The default stripe size (depth) is 8KB. Stripe sizes of
16KB, 32KB, or 64KB can be selected through the user interface.
Larger stripe size ensures better performance for large sequential data transfers.
Smaller stripe size is best suited for small random data transfers.
