Hey everyone,
Just hoping that someone has an answer to this. I remember reading an article in a past issue of Maximum PC, called RAID Revisited I think, about how you should format your harddrive when using RAID 0. For the life of me I can't find this issue(wife must of thrown it away), and I can't find any onlne resources that even mention it.
Currently I've got my RAID 0 stripe set to 16k, I had it on 64k but it benchmarks better and performs better for what I do on 16k. But I've heard that you should set your NTFS File Allocation to something that would result in better RAID performance. Anyone know what I'm talking about or actually have the article that they could post the info from?
