I've got a raid of 18GB SSA disks with 40-some 5GB volumes written on it, because that was where it seemed the break-even was, between flexible sizing (preferring small volumes) and simple management, preferring large ones. With a decent disk controller, I think the performance isn't affected too much. - Allen S. Rout
