Stripe Size: Species 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.
Conguration 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 conguration
options represent the tolerance value of drive capacity difference.
Conguration options: [None] [1G] [10G]
