I was reading an article at Anandtech the other day that said stripe size couldn't be changed for the Promise onboard RAID controller in the ASUS A7V333 motherboard (PDC20276 - it's an ATA133 controller) , and they didn't like the performance at the only available stripe size setting, 64KB. They showed tests indicating better transfer rate performance with RAID controllers set at a 512KB stripe size. I have the A7V333 motherboard, and the article leaves me with some questions: 1. Is a 64KB stripe size sub-optimum for such things as making world, compiling and installing large ports, etc.? Is there a more optimal setting or range of settings? 2. Is atacontrol capable of setting stripe size? If so, what would be the correct command syntax?
