Select the current volume set stripe size. This parameter specifies
the size of the stripes written to each disk in a RAID 0, 1,0+1, 5 or 6
Volume Set.
You can set the stripe size to 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, or
128 KB. A larger stripe size provides better-read performance,
especially if your computer does mostly sequential reads. However, if
you are sure that your computer does random read requests more
often, choose a small stripe size.

Raid Set/Volume Set
Function
