We use raid 5 for everything, haven't come across any problems yet.

As for performance, I am not sure, as we don't encounter the same loads as most bigger organizations probably encounter.

We are running oracle 8.0.5, 8.1.7, on clustered tru64 4.0f connected to a SAN (HSG80) Darren

We are in the process of reorganizing and reconfiguring of our disk space in preparation for an Oracle 8.1.6 upgrade in production, and my sys admin wants to use RAID 5 for the drive on which the Oracle 8.1.6 software will be installed. Anyone know of a reason why RAID 5 would not be OK for the software? We are on Digital Tru64 UNIX V4.0G.

Thanks in advance,
