Fernandez DO NOT post HTML DO NOT DO NOT put Informix data on Raid 5 DO NOT Engine? O/S? Processors? Memory? Data Set Size? No of Concurrent Users? OLTP or Warehouse? User Performance Expectation? All these questions and a few others need to be answered before any reasonable intelligent response.

Up till now we have stored data in different chunks distributed betwen different disks to obtain a better performance in read-write operations. We had the chunks distributed and mirrored in different disks. We are going to change the hosts and in the new one we are going to have a storage system with RAID5. Is it reasonable to build different chunks to store critical, non-critical, temporary, etc...... data?
