It's currently set to it's default of 4kb and it's horribly slow. I plan to reformat and increase the strip size to either 64 or 128kb.

Which is better or is there another strip size I should be considering?

Thanks.

What do you use the computer for and how is your RAID array / drives configured?

It's a typical gaming system. Gaming, web browsing, email, etc... I don't encode videos or anything like that.
The raid array is 4 Seagate Perpendicular recording 7200.10 320gb Sata 3.0gb drives in a raid 10 (0+1) configuration. It's all one partition (C:)

I have 2 250 GB WD drives in striped raid (0?) and the computer set the optimum at 64kb
