The sum of the stripe unit sizes comprising a single stripe across all columns being striped.

The amount of data contiguously written to each disk. You can specify stripe sizes of 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, and 128 KB for each logical drive. For best performance, choose a stripe size equal to or smaller than the block size used by the host computer.

The smallest block of data read from or written to a physical drive. Modern hardware implementations let users to tune this block to the typical access patterns of the most common system applications.

The number of blocks in a stripe. Stripe size in a parity RAID array is the product of stripe depth and one less than the number of disks in the array

The amount of data written to each disk. Also called "stripe depth." You can specify stripe sizes of 2 KB, 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, and 128 KB for each logical drive. A larger stripe size produces improved read performance, especially if most of the reads are sequential. For mostly random reads, select a smaller stripe size.
