I've just built up my PC using an Abit board with on board RAID, It's offering the option to set up Raid 0 with 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k and lastly 64k block size stripping for the RAID array. As my goal is to maximize performance, can someone offer some advice and please explain the difference.
Thanks Jim D.

I have used this doc before for a basic guideline of sizes for different raid sets.

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.8

This is the linux documenation project site so it is a respectable site.

The size for raid 0 should be 32k. Read the doc to find out why. I would just be paraphrasing their explanation anyways.

I was beginning to give up hope and was going to set up the strip the same size as the cluster.
