Why worry about how it gets written. The cache will make any implementation sing like a bird. And if you think you are having problems just add more cache and that will take care of it. - As told to us by a past EMC Sales Weenie

Hi All,

Today I saw an archived thread on orafaq about striped volumes in an EMC Symmetrix. Gaja mentioned that writing to a striped volume is performed in a sequential fashion i.e. spindle B will not start writing block 2 before spindle A has completed writing block 1.

Is this still true for a Symmetrix with 5568 firmware? Perhaps it's a better idea to let the OS handle the striping?
