Impressive work

Because disk I/O is the main issue with Oracle this is a most-needed book and one that I recommend because it is through and has details about how to tell when disk is a problem and when you can monitor and fix disk I/O in Oracle databases.

Outstanding Coverage of Oracle disk Internals

I'm an unabashed fan of Mike Ault and I have every one of his books. Mike has always emphasized the importance of disk I/O in Oracle tuning and I'm glad to finally have a whole book on the topic. The text is very Oracle-centric, concise and shows all of the areas where Oracle performance declines from a bad disk layout. Rather than just being an overview, Ault dives deep into the I/O internals and shows at a microscopic level how Oracle interacts with the disk I/O sub-system. This is one of Mike's best books in years, and that's really saying something.
