We use ClearCase and have many multiple Gb vob's(databases). We were using RAID-5, but had to back off to RAID 0+1 because of performance reasons (which was indicated in the manual, once you read it...). This would happen around 1-2Gb's vob size. Our usage of CC provides heavy writing activity to the underlying dB. I don't know what kind of dB engine Atria->Rational->IBM has implemented underneath, or even it it would look like a dB to someone who knew the difference...
