Descriptions of the RAID parameters that you can
change are as follows:
Ÿ
Stripe Unit Size: The default setting is 8 K data
bytes.
The stripe-unit size is the amount of data written
on a given disk before writing on the next disk.
To maximize the overall performance, choose a
size that is close to the size of the system I/O
request.
Note
The size of the system I/O request depends
on the operating system. If you are not sure
of the size, use the default setting.
Attention
After you set a stripe-unit size and store
data in the logical drives, you cannot change
the size without destroying data in the
logical drives.
