Very interesting. I figured if the API allowed it then the TDP would already be using multiple stripes\sections.

This is a current Microsoft API limitation. Interestingly, there is a "placeholder" in the API that says how many "sections" you would like to use... however... the documentation for that parameter shows: cSections Input parameter. The number of file sections the function should return. This parameter should always be 1. I am hoping that means Microsoft will support multiple sections someday. That have not told me they plan to support more than 1 yet.
