Optimizing mySQL for performance

Hello,

I am going to be running mySQL on a RAID5 array and am wondering if I
need to worry about splitting up the data and log files on to seperate
channels on the RAID array.

I have heard differing arguments. Some people say that you can install
SQL on the same logial drive as long as you are running RAID5 and not
worry about performance issues.

Others say that you need to split everything up even if you are
running RAID5.

Do I need to split it up in to 2 channels and 2 logical drives or is
one drive OK???

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
