Best stripe size for multitrack audio recording?
Hi guys,
I just bought two 80Gb SATA drives which I will configure to RAID 1 (two drives as one) and I'll be doing some home studio recording on them with cubase SX.
What's the best stripe size in terms of performance for audio recording?
Thanx in advanx

RAID 0 is - 'two drives as one' (or more)
RAID 1 is - two drives (1 being a mirror of the other - or a 'Backup')
That said - from 16k - 64k would be the range I'd use to create the stripe size - simply because Audio/Vido files are larger files than standard desktop use files.
*edit 2 THough if you're keeping ONLY the data filesd on the RAID 0 setup, perhaps even larger stripe blocks would be beneficial.
*edit;
just saw that you clarified what you want (RAID 0)
a decent read;

got it ;)
I too need to correct myself - meant to say "THough if you're keeping ONLY the [Audio/Video Files] files on the RAID 0 setup..."
