We just got a Dell with 12 x 600G 15K hot swappable disks + 2 internal 146G 15K disks (64G ram) We will be using postgres 8.4.3 on RHEL 5 64 bit Does it make sense to use a single Raid 10 stripe across the disks or split into 2 sets of 3 disk pairs (given that we have 2 channels) ? We plan to put all the postgres data on a single partition and the wal / OS on the internal disks. This is for a data warehouse app . The machine will receive about 200 million inserts per day.
