Hi everybody, Anybody out there knows which provides the best performance: fragmenting tables (round robin) on multiple hard drives or letting a RAID5 controller do the work? Our hardware is a quad-processor Pentium Pro under SCO Unix, with 5 x 2GB disks. Informix is ODS 7.22 Thanks for any input Bashar Chalabi Card Tech Limited, London
