You just get more safety.
Nothing will interfere between sapdb and your platter, so you can be sure that 
when sapdb commits the transaction is physically stored.
Also not other software can mess around with your data, and you do not have to 
think about fragmentation and things like that.

As the manual says, raw devices are extremely safe.

The main disadvantage is probably that you have to do a database backup to 
save your data, even when your database is not running most of the time.
