Down below in another thread TurkBear wrote: "IMHO, the size does not matter" with reference to disk size.

And this reminded me of another common bit of "wisdom?" with respect to Oracle I thought I would throw into the mythology pot.

For many years I was told that Oracle likes lots of small disks. That the ideal Oracle system was 100 2GB drives rather than 10 20GB drives. I haven't heard this repeated in awhile. It was only about 5 years ago I remember a SysAdmin whining that he could no longer get 4GB drives and would have to move Oracle to 9GB or 18GB drives.

Any commments? Myth or wisdom?
