    RAID 0 stripe size vs. cluster size

    Now I know it depends on what your doing. My question is this. Anyone out there running a RAID 0 stripe array with 2 drives (specifically Western Digital JB drives), first, what is your current stripe/cluster size, and second, how is your performance? I've read numerous articles explaining how small vs. large stripe sizes affect performance so I don't need an explanation on that. I just want to get a feel for what people have their stripe and cluster sizes set to, and how their systems perform. Thanks for your help folks.

    ive tried a couple different cluster sizes. currently i am running with 64k. to be honest, i havent noticed a difference between any of them.. i noticed a little difference from before raid, mostly when loading games and encoding video and stuff like that..

    as far as normal every day stuff on the os i didnt really notice anything..
