what the heck are bothering with RAID for anyhow? :) unless you are a serious video editor or something your latencies suck and you added overhead to your computer that actually costs you performance...the only thing you improve is large file transfer times. For an explanation of all things drive related, storagereview.com is a not a bad place to start.
not a bash, just offering information

The stripe is the amount of data to each drive in the array.
And 128 is way to large for most ide/sata drives. 16 to 32 usually works better.
