I really don't want to mess with benching all of them... if anyone has experience with this I'd appreicate some input. My guess would be 64-128kb but I have no idea. I would be running 2 Maxtor 60GB 7200RPM drives.

Thanks

alright thanks. Is it possible to have different stripe sizes for different partitions (i assume you can have multiple partitions on raid-0)?

cause i'd think it would be better to have a larger stripe size on my backup/mp3 partition cause there won't be a whole lot of small files.

Old info. With newer controllers it is best to go with 16k stripe and 16k cluster..<b>UNLESS</b> he is working on large files such as video editing.
