Why? RAID1 only gives me redundancy but not a performance boost. Its just a workstation.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I to create a RAID 0 with two Vertex 2 on a Intel ICH10 RAID controller. What is the recommended block size for SSDs. When you google the issue then you find people saying something between 4k and 128k. Well that is a pretty wide range. What is the best block size. As small as possible or a big as possible. As the end result of course I want the best read\write performance.<br />
<br />
People's personal expiriences are very welcome.<br />

Thank you<br />
