Some of those from a more traditional server background insist on having some form of mapping via RAID. In that case it depends on whether 1 disk unit RAID0s or "JBOD" passthrough is more efficient, that's also hardware specific. As a general best practice, that'd be to just give Ceph OSDs the disks as they are.
