""NumberOfDiskStripesPerObject, commonly referred to as stripe width, is the setting
that defines the minimum number of capacity devices across which each replica of a
storage object is distributed. Virtual SAN may actually create more stripes than the
number specified in the policy.
Striping may help performance if certain virtual machines are I/O intensive and
others are not. With striping, a virtual machines data is spread across more drives
which all contribute to the overall storage performance experienced by that virtual
machine. In the case of hybrid, this striping would be across magnetic disks. In the
case of all-flash, the striping would be across whatever flash devices are making up
the capacity layer.""
