Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Which RAID level do you use?
For 1TB and only having 20 spindles, I doubt many people would chose 100Gb drives for an Oracle database unless it was just huge.
$20,000 isn't much for 1Tb solution, but you haven't taken in account your enclosure, any enclosure that would handle 20 drives, hot swap and most likely multiple connections for multiple controllers would probably be $5-$10k.

"RAID 1 is fine if you have infinite storage (read: Infinite Budget). Try buying an extra TB of disk just for the fun of it and see what your budget committee does to you :-)"
Kind of agree. Get an IBM Deskstar model...close to 100 GB....buy ten at maybe, what? a grand each......and VOILA a terabyte for about 10K.
Not exactly "infinite budget"!
