The stripe size parameter specifies the size of the segment
written to each disk in a RAID configuration.

You can set the stripe size to 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 Kbytes.
A larger stripe size produces higher read performance. If your
computer regularly performs random read requests, choose a
smaller stripe size. The default is 64 Kbytes.
