While you are looking at the other good answers, when thinking at the OS level - which, admittedly, may not be part of your concern right now - also remember to take into account
  • SAN/NAS mirroring policy and/or ASM redundancy
  • mirroring for redo and control files
  • space for control file auto backup
  • space for logs, traces and alert files - especially the ADR ($ORACLE_BASE/diag) (you'd be surprised how many do not rotate alert and listener log)
  • and, of course, the ($ORACLE_HOME) itself.
