His book covers much more than just storage ... "Scaling Oracle 8i" by James Morle is downloadable from his website:

http://www.scale-abilities.com/thebook.shtml

Page 85 starts coverage of Storage Subsystems. Parts are a little bit out of date, such as SCSI protocols (160 and 320 MB/sec have come along since this was published). NAS filers weren't used back then and hard drive rotational speeds have increased to 15,000 RPM. This is one of those books for which I picked up a second copy for home use (like Practical Oracle Databases and Effective Oracle by Design).

He also wrote a paper named "Sane SAN" that is more recent.

Gaja Vatnahayanahaya's Oracle Performance Tuning 101 book was released as an eBook by Veritas.
