if you have 13 GB of space =13312 MB X .023 (if is a Dos Name Space)/ 4
(if your block size is four) =76.54 mb and add 2 mb for the operating
system is 78.54 and rounded to higher=79 MB. 

If you are using Unix, OS/2 or other non-dos namming convention, use
.032 instead of .023. 

Remember when setting your cache buffer size should never be larger than
the smallest disk allocation block size on all volumes.

Also what you doing is called spanning, and this can be risky. If you
loose one disk and its volume segments, you will loose access to the
entire volume. If you still want to do this, then I suggest you duplex
your disk.
