techrecoveryhere is the question for you this week.
RAID 5, BEST STRIPE SIZE FOR LARGE FILES?
as usual, i'm reading a hell of a bunch of material on this. nothing quite fits what i'm doing however, as is usually the case.
the RAID 5 array will mainly be used for storing very large files, average size i would say would probably be over 500meg per file.
currently i'm leaning to the 128k - 256k - 512k - 1024k stripe size, although will consider, 64k is also in the running, but i'm thinking that's a bit small for this application.
any of you geeks out there have an opinion?
