We recommend stripe only if you have very few, very large files that numerous clients need to access simultaneously. Otherwise and for most cases distribute (file level) is a better choice. With some exceptions, when file data is striped across multiple nodes in a stripe set, and one node in that set goes down, then those blocks are what becomes inaccessible. Other parts of file remain accessible.
