Strip Size:
This parameter sets the size of the stripe written to each disk in a RAID 0, 1,
0+1, or 5 logical drive. You can set the stripe size to 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32
KB, 64 KB, or 128 KB.
A larger stripe size produces better-read performance, especially if your com-
puter does mostly sequential reads. However, if you are sure that your com-
puter does random reads more often, select a small stripe size
Note: RAID level 3 can’t modify strip size.
Cache Mode:
The RAID subsystem supports Write-Through Cache and Write-Back Cache.
Tag Queuing:
The Enabled option is useful for enhancing overall system performance under
multi-tasking operating systems. The Command Tag (Drive Channel) function con-
trols the Fibre command tag queuing support for each drive channel. This function
should normally remain enabled. Disable this function only when using older Fibre
drives that do not support command tag queuing
Fibre Channel/LUN Base/LUN:
Fibre Channe l: Two 4Gbps Fibre channel can be applied to the internal RAID
subsystem. Choose the Fibre Host# option 0 , 1 and 0&1 cluster .
