Re: Oracle9i - which RAID ??

select * from v$filestat;

That gives you the physical number of read and write operations, which is your starting place.

As for what constitutes "heavy", there's no real answer. Certainly, no absolute number of writes. But you should also compare it to the number of reads, too. If the writes are a "substantial" proportion of reads, I'd call that a 'heavy writer'. Either that, or it's badly tuned.
