Set the stripe's interlace value correctly.
The more physical disks in a striped metadevice, the greater the I/O performance. (The MTBF, however, will be reduced, so consider mirroring striped metadevices.)
Don't mix differently sized slices in the striped metadevice. A striped metadevice's size is limited by its smallest slice.
Avoid using physical disks with different disk geometries.
Distribute the striped metadevice across different controllers and busses.
Striping cannot be used to encapsulate existing file systems.
Striping performs well for large sequential I/O and for random I/O distributions.
Striping uses more CPU cycles than concatenation. However, it is usually worth it.
Striping does not provide any redundancy of data.
