Stripe Size: Specifies the size of single data block on the virtual disk. In general,
a larger stripe size is recommended for applications requiring large data transfers
such as audio, video, and graphics. A smaller stripe size is better for applications
with content in much smaller size, such as e-mails and documents.
Configuration options: [32K] [64K]
Gigabyte Rounding: In the event of a single physical disk failure in a RAID 1
virtual disk, Gigabyte Rounding allows the replacement physical disk to be of a
size slightly smaller than the existing physical disk. The capacity of the rebuilt
virtual disk equals to the size of the smaller physical disk included in the RAID 1
array. The configuration options represent the tolerance value of drive capacity
