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.

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
