Just in case: What this really is about is chosing the RAID stripe unit size. On a three-component RAID 5, I think I basically have two options: make a stripe the size of a fragment or make it the size of a block. The data on the RAID set is a Borg backup, and I can examine data on another backup server. Since backups are mostly written to, I think I need to optimize for write speed.
