subsystem uses a method of data stor-
age called
striping
. With this method,
data is divided into a series of pieces
called
blocks
and each data block is
stored on a different physical drive.
When each drive contains a block of
data, the process starts over with the
first physical drive. By carefully selecting
the size of the data block, the chance
that the information needed can be read
from or written to multiple physical
drives at once is increased, greatly
increasing the performance of the com-
posite drive. See also block, block size,
and RAID.
