Thanks to all for assisting me in arriving at the storage design for our
database.

Kevin,

We have on board RAID controller for the internal SAS disks. Sorry for not
mentioning earlier.

As you are suggesting to go with HW RAID, would like to understand whether
redundancy provided by RAID using failure groups is less efficient than HW
RAID? Should we always use external redundancy instead of ASM redundancy (if
it is available)?
