This might be able to help you out:

These are difficult questions. you also should figure out what the
block size of your filesystem is. I think ideally it should be
N*stripe_size where N is the number of disks you have. This way you
can read one block as a set of N IOs in parallel across your disks.
Also note that SATA is probably not what you want if you need decent
IO. SCSI will still give you a win.
Let us know what you find out...
Check the archives too. I think there was some commentary about
using a 16k strip and seeing a significant performance boost. Also
some RAID controllers don't allow you to change the strip size.
Moral of the story is that disk sucks... Disk is the new tape...
