set the stripe size to the best for me when I create my drive partitions using the windows 7 DVD or would I have to set the stripe size manually?

If I have to set the stripe size manually, what is the best method of doing this and does the stripe size have to be set before createing any drive partitions or after?

Thanks for responding.
You have to set the stripe size in the Intel or Marvell (do not recommend that controller) ROM config screen. First enter the BIOS to enable RAID for either controller. Then during boot you'll be prompted to enter Ctrl I for the Intel or Ctrl M for the Marvell setup screens.

I strongly recommend that you just enable the Intel RAID. Use 128K stripe for RAID 0 on the C300 256GB drives. Also, if you're not using the Marvell controller for anything else, completely disable it.
