Sorry for the confusion. Let me rephrase the question. The question relates to placing the 'online redo logs'. Based on the current activity, the 'archived redo logs' amount to ~960G a day. That number is used only to demonstrate that it is a busy system. One option given to us by the Unix admin is to use Raid 10 as we have been using for rest of the datafiles. Other is to attach 3 EMC Hyper Devices, that have their own set of cache pages. I'm not sure what he means by the second option though and how reliable that would be.
