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.
