RAW is still the fastest place to be ... with Oracle, with DB2, with Informix, with Sybase, and I'd bet with SQL Server too if anyone in the Windows world was technical enough to install and benchmark it.
With Oracle one generally uses ASM to manage RAW as it provides performance slightly better than most RAW device solutions plus makes management quite easy.
It should be noted that these days *NIX solutions, including Linux, offer asynch i/o.
