Hi,

I expect you mean RAID 1/0 or 1+0 since the CX300 didn't support RAID 10 last time I 
looked.

Whether you are using a SAN or not, you should consider putting the WAL files (pg_xlog 
folder) on
seperate diskes from the DB. Since the log files are mostly written to, not read from 
you could
just use RAID 1. 

It's a pity pg doesn't have a way to use a cluster of servers to get the most out of 
your
expensive SAN.

I read a comment earlier about setting block sizes to 8k to math pg's block size. 
Seems to make
sense, you should check it out.

Have fun,
Mr Pink
