I was wondering if it would be better to put the xlog on the same disk as the OS? Apart from the occasional log writes I'd have thought most OS data is loaded into cache at the beginning, so you effectively have an unused disk. This gives you another spindle (mirrored) for your data.

Or have I missed something fundamental?
