We use just that and it works splendid. It's very nice for adding space
and all that.

But I must admit that I haven't had any comments from the gurus wether
this is a wise choice performance wise.

Keep in mind that you might want devide your discs into two groups with
different physical discs so that you can make use of tablespaces. We use
them to seperate data and indexspace. Seperating the wal makes sense
only if there is nothing else accessing that disc.

just my two cents,
