For those that have set up RAID 0 or other arrays for your library, what block size did you define? I would guess for most of us we have relative large files (20MB or larger) plus some video files that could be larger. So did you set up your RAID with 128K size blocks?
Got a tip for us?

Mine is at 64KB. While I have large image files i also have small document files too so didnt want to go too high.
It performs well enough at that size that I cant be bothered with the hassle of tweaking it further.
For giggles... I had 2 drives go T.U. within an hour of each other last week. Despite backups and fault tolerance it has still been annoying to repair.
