Improving SQL Disk Performance #2 Windows Stripe Size

  • [アーティクル]

There are some urban legends around the Windows stripe size that you should set for SQL Server. I have seen recommendations of 64k for both data and log internally at Microsoft by some heavy hitting data Dudes, so that is good enough for me ;-)

Generally a Storage Area Network will have a 64k block size anyway - so I like to match the size of the windows stripe to the block size of the underlying disk subsystem.

How to Change the Windows Strip Size

This can only be selected when you format the disk. Also know as "Allocation Unit Size". beware as the default is only 4k.

One thing to be aware of is that NTFS compression is not supported with a block size of 64. But no one uses that with SQL Server - right !!

How to Query the Stripe Size?

fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo F:
