Keep in mind that databases and RAID5 generally don't mix very well.

What is the ideal setup of a database server when it comes to storage?

You also want to put the WAL on a seperate set of drives from
the main database (though again that doesn't buy much if your database
is read-only).

Thanks for the information.
Sorry for my ignorance but what is WAL? Neither Google nor Wikipedia could come up with an explanation.
