Hi Rick, We hade a wild discussion about this last Tivoli User Group Meeting in Sweden. And I think most people got the best performance by using RAID 1+0 on DB on as fast disk as possible. (Fusion I/O, SSD or 15K SAS) RAID 1 for Active/Archive Log Mutliple RAID 5 for Diskpool Best Regards Christ

Thanks Christian, so that would result in; 1 - raid 1 - OS+active log / archive log (2d) 2 - raid 10 - db (4d) 3 - raid 5 - diskpool (4d) Keeping the active / archive logs on the same raid-1 set won't be an issue I guess as longs as I use two seperate partitions but isn't the backup speed with t
