Some Unix's will set a ceiling of 2G on a file which may limit you...Also some Unix's will allow files larger than this but not use asynchronous IO on >2G files...which could hurt performance...
As the other poster said, if you had the choice of 1 x 18G disk and 18 x 1G disks, then you would go the latter - spread, spread, spread your files...
