Jenn,

We have our entire database on RAID-5, @50GB's.  We see very exceptable
performance (Your concern will be with writes, the reads are very close to
RAID-1) and our DB load times fit in our window time.  We are currently
piloting this configuration and are set to roll this to production with a
600GB Database.  We have been testing SSD, Solid State Drives, for our DB
logs and have seen a considerable improvement with DB loads.


Hope this helps

David
