Hi,

I'm preparing to test some configurations on san storage array. I would 
like to find out what will be better in my environment: raid1+0 or 
raid5. Other thing is what size of segment size should be configured on 
storage array. For example, I've got 5 disks in RAID5, so if ASM default 
stripe size for datafiles is 1MB, so segment size on strage shouls be 
256KB to hit all drives, am I right?
What tools are You recommend to do tests like this: sequentail/sequence 
reads etc?  thanks
