Is RAID 5 not recommended for Oracle database ?

- I am planning to install Oracle database

Here are the specs:

- Dell PowerEdge T610 server
- Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit )
- 24 GB memory
- Oracle 10g database (64-bit database)

- Our database is for an ERP based client server application

- Will have around 35-45 users

- Will have around 150-200 transaction per day ( 8AM-5PM) only database

- database would be around 10-15GB (data files)

Now I am planning to buy the hardware server, I heard that RAID 5 is not recommended for Oracle database.

Is it true ?

What do you recommended for Oracle database ? RAID 5 (or) RAID 1
