What would interest me is the number of disks used in each test.

Hi,
I just got forwarded a whitepaper from Hitachi and Oracle, that compairs raid 5+ and raid 1 using the TPC-C benchmark test suite. The claim is that raid 5 is as fast or faster. While I'm waiting for a comparison or raid 5+ with raid 0+1, I thought I'd take a poll with the list. The benchmark is using the Hitachi 7700E. Has anyone heard other recommendations attributed to Oracle that are pushing raid 5+ as the configuraton for "unrivaled performance"? Has new disk technology changed the general conception that raid 0 or 0+1 provides better performance than other raid levels?

Thanks,
Russ
