I heard from a friend of mine that this board's Promise RAID controller has the Stripe Size fixed at 32k for RAID 0 arrays. Is this true? Or can I set my own size like 16k and 64k?

You can go to their website www.asus.com and download their manual for the P4B533-E

I don't think the manual has anything regarding the setting of stripe sizes?

Hello...

The Stripe Size is fixed and can´t be changed !

But when you go on www.lumberjacker.de and download the newest Bios for the P4B533-E you can change all, cause you now have a full Promise TX2000 Raid Controller... don´t forget to download the drivers from their site... happy changing !

Thanks for the links.

Anyway, I don't know how to read the site, 'cos I only understand English as well as Chinese.
