I'm not sure if you meant "certainly not", but in case you really meant "certainly", some disk arrays have a "sector size" that is the stripe multiple of the underlying sector size. Of course if you reformat the base drives to some tiny sector size such as 64 bytes for an 8 way stripe you could get away with it. Peter
