This is more of a Net Admin question, however, as a DBA, you *should* know
this information as it pertains to your database and generally the slowest
part of any RDBMS (Physical I/O).

Check to see if there is a Software package installed that manages the RAID
controllers. If not, take a look at the disks in the Admin-> screens.
