Transparent Data Encryption - Oracle10g

Hi,  

The wallet and master key are configured outside the database. According to Oracle info.:  

"If the disks are stolen, the information contained in the table segments remain encrypted. The thief needs the table key to see the encrypted value, but to get that he needs the master key, which is externally stored and hence unavailable."  

What if the database size is small and stored on a single or 2-disk on a system. The master key has to be stored on one of the disks. What if both disks are stolen........is your database still secured?
