Well since Malia had already used the 4 sas hd for the DB,
I thought that it'd be quite quick to setup a raid1 array
(even at software level, e.g. using md), placing pg_xlog
in such array and measure the performance.

As a following step, depending on the time constraints involved,
Malia could rearrange the disk setup enterly and use the SAS
disks as location for pg_xlog.
