Re: raid 5 disaster

Hmmm good point .

Talking about disks ... now that this 
(http://www.bitmicro.com/products_edisk_35_ide.php) new disk
is out (pricey) it would be fun to find how much it would benefit/cause more 
trouble to Oracle
users ... 

Maybe we should see a new study from James Morle
(http://scale-abilities.com/papers/Oracle_SSD_WP_Morle.pdf)?
