Re: RAID 5 stripe size regarding new install

If the stripe size is configurable, choosing the right stripe size is
important. A stripe size that is too small can split an otherwise
single I/O across multiple disk drives, causing multiple seeks to occur
when one drive could satisfy the I/O. Under Windows 2000 the largest I/O
that is supported is 64-KB, so we recommend using the 64-KB stripe size
whenever possible.
