Can anyone point me to a good explanation of the read performance impact of small (RAID-5 and RAID-6) chunk sizes? I understand why large chunks hurt write performance, but I haven't been able to reason through the small-chunk/read case, and my Interweb searches haven't really turned anything up. The "read penalty" is definitely there; I can see it in the test data from my NAS. I just don't understand *why* it's there.
