What Disk Allocation Units should I use, RAID0 or JBOD

Aug 18, 2012 8:21 AM

Hi, what Disk Allocation ubits should I use for drives. The default in NTFS is 4k, is that OK or should I make them bigger? If I use different drives to store different things should the different drives have different Allocation Units.

I have a USB3 enclosure with 2 TB drives in it. Would it be better to use JBOD (i.e. pass throught) so I effectivly have 2 seperate drives I can put different stuff on or RAID0 whitch gives better performance in a single volume?

Thanks, was not sure if it should be in HW forum as it was conserning configuration of storage not chosing hardware. Sorry about that.
