| May 21, 2023 at 22:05 | comment | added | SyberKnight | @davidgo, it's an HHD. it came RAID 0. i don't really have any reason to not keep it as such. i just wanted the APFS format for it. as far as workload, i'd say a general balance of small to large file sizes & a variety of file types. i probably won't work directly off of the drive, so mostly for storage & access (generally). | |
| May 21, 2023 at 20:06 | comment | added | davidgo | Are you using hdd or ssd? Is your workload biased heavily to reads, writes or a balance? What is your reason for wanting RAID0? | |
| May 21, 2023 at 19:33 | comment | added | SyberKnight | i have another of these drives that i've not reformatted yet. is there a way to find out what chunk size it is using? the Mac Disk Utility as well as a Terminal "diskutil info" doesn't say. | |
| May 21, 2023 at 19:14 | comment | added | SyberKnight | Thanks @JoepvanSteen. i gather from that article that i should actually choose 16K. hmmm. | |
| May 21, 2023 at 18:50 | comment | added | Joep van Steen | You'd have to research or rely on research others did, for example overclock.net/threads/… | |
| May 21, 2023 at 18:34 | comment | added | SyberKnight | Thanks @Tetsujin for the reopen vote & for the info. yeah, i can't find a way to just let the system decide & i can't bypass choosing one of those options. so just trying to get a sense of which one to choose for optimal general purpose use. | |
| May 21, 2023 at 17:34 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Voted to reopen. Mac users are simply not used to having to specify sector/chunk sizes etc on anything; they're simply never given the choice, the system chooses. The user accepts without even necessarily knowing what the value ever is. You can do it from Terminal… but most don't. See unix.stackexchange.com/q/118302 and zdnet.com/article/chunks-the-hidden-key-to-raid-performance [neither really gives an answer, btw] | |

my question was "closed" when it should not have been.
