I'm looking to create a RAID 0+1, 4 drives + 1 spare. &nbsp;(all identical drives, IDE highpoint rocketraid 404, 4channels)<br />

What would be an ideal stripe size, the general use of the storage is as a file server(~5MB files), and also storing cd images(~700MB), and ghost images/backups of system drive (~30GB).<br />

Striping size for RAID 0+1

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
