data/index on different disks

Hi all,

I'm building a database for Oracle Text, using Oracle 10.1 on a Win2k3 platform. Estimated initial size 3GB data and an expected growth of 500MB a year. Since I'm using a text index I wonder if it's wise to put the index and data tablespaces on different disks. I know that was common practice in the Oracle7 and Oracle8(i) days but I remember reading somewhere that in Oracle9 and up it's better to put index and data on the same disk. Better for read-performance anyway. Anybody here with the answer???

tia,
