Re: Server size

What about sending 150 users home after you experience a crash on that one single disk?

You really should use different disks. The Oracle DBA handbook has a nice discussion about the performance reasons.

Above I tried to point out that storing a database on 1 disk is a reckless act, because that disk is going to be a single point of failure. For me that's more than enough reason to justify multiple disks.
