RAID stripe size confusion

  • setting up a new ibm xserve server.

    The SCSI serveRAID controller says to use 16kb stripe for generic

    "transaction processing database" (not sql server specific). but the

    IBM redpaper SQL server 2005 on xserve guide says to use 64kb stripes as a starting point.

    posts I have seen say to use scsi controller defaults unless a reason.

    which should we choose?

  • this is for RAID10 data drives.

    THe redpaper 64kb setting up with a san which we do not have.
