Separating tables from indexes is one of those mythical things.

If you want to separate files to different filesystems/volumes/whatever, 
do
so based on the amount of IO per file.

disclaimer:  I still tend to do that myself, partly by necessity.  SAP 
demands it,
and it's a starting point on new systems.

RAID 0+1 and RAID 1+0 provide similar performance but RAID 1+0 has the 
advantage of offering more redundancy/availability.  If you take your sys 
admin's advice and go with 2 x 3 disks in a 0+1 config and you lose one 
disk then you lose the other two spindles in that stripe as well.  That's 
half of your I/O capacity gone.  With RAID 1+0 the other two spindles will 

still be available when one disk fails in a stripe.

I think it is useful to be able to split your data between different 
physical disks.  Apart from the fact that redo and archive logs should 
never reside on the same volume then it can make a big difference being 
able to keep your data tablespaces from your indexes from your rollback 
from your redo.

And now I have stated the bleeding obvious.  BAARF.
