One of the lessons I learned from Greg was that, when dealing
with RAID implementations in hardware, you should usually take their
"native" stripe size, since that's the one that will usually perform
best.
It's only when you do software RAID (e.g., vinum) that you can
choose larger or smaller stripe sizes with a reasonable expectation
that you will get the particular performance enhancement that you're
hoping for.
