oracle tablespace striping

If an audit table or a trade capture table gets a lot of concurrent writes, you may want to stripe it across disks to increase parallelism and write performance. One way is to configure the table with multiple tablespaces, according to a friend. Each tablespace maps to a physical disk.

The same stripe technique also speeds up reading.
