Right, I do understand that, but reliability is not a top priority in this system. The database will be replicated, and can be reproduced from the raw data.

So what you're saying is:

1. Reliability is not important.
2. There's zero write traffic once the database is set up.

If this is true, then RAID-0 is the way to go. I think Greg's options are good. Either:

2 discs RAID 1: OS
6 discs RAID 0: database + WAL

which is what we're using here (except with more discs), or:

8 discs RAID 10: everything

However, if reliability *really* isn't an issue, and you can accept reinstalling the system if you lose a disc, then there's a third option:

8 discs RAID 0: Everything
