  abstract = {To access a RAID (redundant arrays of inexpensive disks), the
  disk stripe size greatly affects the performance of the disk array. In this
  article, we present a performance model to analyze the effects of striping
  with different stripe sizes in a RAID. The model can be applied to optimize
  the stripe size. Compared with previous approaches, our model is simpler to
  apply and more accurately reveals the real performance. Both system designers
  and users can apply the model to support parallel I/O events}
