Lee,

I think the consensus is to use Raid 0+1. Our sysadmin claims that our = disk cache is so large, that it doesn't really matter that we are using = Raid 5 (we are on Tru64 4.0d). I really don't have the hardware expertise = or the time to prove otherwise. I wouldn't mind hearing some comments on = that statement from other folks on the list as they reply to your = question. I am able to flood the cache during sqlloader runs, but other = that that, he seems to be correct.
