You will find that 2003 sets it to 128k anyway.<br />
<br />
The only way you will be able to change it is to NOT service pack your windows 2003 server. If you already have service pack1 on then your stuck with 128k block size.<br />
<br />
I would check out Oracle themselves for more information.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps<br />

hi experts,<br />
<br />
According to a published document from oracle website, it mentioned that 1M stripe size is recommended for optimal performance. Is this value still recommended for window platform ? My config is as follows :<br />
&nbsp;<br />
- 9i RAC with OCFS on win 2003 32 bits<br />
- EMC CX500 ( Raid 1+0 around Total 2X 146G FC disk drives )<br />
- Dell PE Servers ( intel xeon x64 )<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The EMC consultant recommended us to use 128K per disk since windows may not be able to handle the disk IO. Is it true ? &nbsp;<br />

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.
