That will give you less accurate numbers, if you're looking for numbers
that reflect real world performance.  Again, in general, most real world
writes are not stripe aligned, and not full width, especially with the
insanely large 512KB chunk size.

For all but a few workloads, storage should be designed and optimized
assuming most writes will be unaligned or not full width, -not- assuming
most will be full stripe writes.
