I’m creating a new project drive, for my Mac studio. It’ll be the drive on which all my video assets are stored, it may occasionally be used as a Framestore too.
I previously had it setup with softraid, but not a fan anymore for various reasons. So I’m striping it with the Mac Disk Utility RAID tool. These are my options for chink size:
big chunk size = better speed, worse space optimization. And vice versa. I did some tests , and indeed, there are some improve in reading speeds. I’d go to 64K or 128K.
When I set up a new NVME raid, I created a new project that that used it as a frame store, and tried them all. Higher was better for speed, but you can get into diminishing returns.
