I'm taking a Oracle DBA class right now and the instructor told us that he
would not use raid on drives holding Oracle databases. He said it was better
to use many smaller drives without raid. Your rollback segments and control
files can be duplicated over the many small drives. This would help you if
one of the drives went down. As for the block size. Your Oracle block size
should be in multiples of your drive block size. Look like you have that
covered.
Hope this helped.
