Re: Oracle engine on external storage

There's nothing special about it being external rather than internal that
makes a difference.

If your external disks are a chain of old SCSI disks, they'll be slow. If
they're nice new SSA disks with the latest RAID adapters they'll be somewhat
faster.

Generally, internal disks are not the fastest you can get.

What are you using? You need to think about the type of disks, how they're
connected, their adapters and the server's I/O bus(es). Oh, and plenty of
other things: that's just a start.
