I currently have a server set up as follows:

Windows 2000 Server
SQL Server 7.0

6 Hard 36.4GB hard drives set up as follows:

2 drives (Raid 1) for O/S and Sql Transaction Logs

4 drives(Raid 5) for SQL Server databases.

My question is: Is it better to use a small stripe size or a large stripe size on the raid 5 array and why ?

Thanks.
