I would like to add a related question. I am obtaining a 7133 with 6 18GB
drives. I remember when it was best to setup a different RAID level based
on the type of files that would be stored. Is this still recommend or can
I go with a RAID 5? Data that will be stored will be Oracle data, Content
Manager and user home directories.
