Re: Disk drive config?

Where and how you keep your files should not matter to oracle database . If you use RAID-5 configuration , performance will be affected. Database will be slow . Only advantage is you will get more space . You will get 80% space for data (. For example if you have 5 * 4 Gb drives , you will get 16Gb of space for data and the remaining 4Gb used for parity )

The simple logic is split the database into as many as disks/controllers as possible for best performance and keep many copies of control files in different drives. The same applies to redo log files also.
