Oracle block size and external storage's chunk size

Razvan BaluAug 10 2012 — edited Aug 10 2012

Hi to all.
I have one storage that will host the datafiles of an Oracle instance. The RAID needs to be configured and for this my colleague needs to set the chunk size. His options are 16k, 32k, 64k.
The Oracle db will have basically the block size set to 8k. Should the oracle's block size be synchronized with the chunk size to that minimum of 16k?
How can this change affect the performance?
Thanks.
