not to mention how the tests EMC used made sure that RAID protection, a feature that's nearly always used in real-life storage implementations, was turned off: Not to quibble with the bulk of what you said, but for databases which are not predominantly read-only, RAID 5, if that is what you mean, is often turned off for performance and security. Very few vendors provide a write cache that can really be relied on, although I think EMC might be the exception with the right setup. If you don't absolutely trust the write cache, you need to turn it off, and if you turn it off and run a write-intensive database against RAID 5, it is deadly slow.
