hi,

If you are the DBA, I would say: never settle for raid 5 because it is 'cheaper' and the 'overhead is minimal'
Sure managers want fast, good & cheap things, preferebly all at the same, but in the end, when performance goes down because raid5 just can't handle 'those one or two exceptional quick & dirty queries' which genereate huge rollback, redologs, data & index segment I/O, they will again come knocking on the dba's door...

What 's the cost of a 10k scsi drive these day anyway?

kind regards
john
