I wish I could suggest a book but I can not. But I would expect you will find WhitePapers here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/htdocs/maa.htm#Database that might be helpful.

My personal feeling, untested in the lab, is that for most people who have related issues they all have disk shelves from NetApp, Pillar, EMC, Fujitsu, Hitachi, etc. and none of us are writing to disk any more ... we are writing to an in-memory cache. So I'm not sure it matters as much as the vendor specific operating system's optimizations.

Again ... this supposition is untested in the lab so it could be wildly off the mark.
