    Chunk Size and Cluster Size (SiI3114)

    I'm using a raid card with SiI3114.
    When using the SATARAID5 software it requests for a chunk size upon the RAID5 creation.

    Example if i were to choose 32KB chunk size
    Should i choose 64KB cluster size for NTFS or 32KB or lower 16KB?

    By the way is SATARAID5 considered as hardware or software raid.
