But doesn't moving involve writing (into data tablespaces, indexes or index creation)? In this case what did you win? I think that if you can not afford to have everything in RAID 0+1 you should have RBS, TEMP, REDO LOGS and most often changing data and indexes on RAID 0+1. By the way, the difference between let say 1TB of RAID 5 and RAID 0+1 is 0.8TB of disk space. If we assume that 10G disk cost $500 then 0.8TB should cost $40,000. It is nothing comparing with other costs of 1TB DW. Any thoughts anybody?

RAID-5 should be good for the DW application but the area where information is loaded (involves lot of writes), we loaded them in a RAID 1 area and then

we moved them over to the RAID-5 area as RAID-1 is good for writes.

Hope this helps.
