RDS is the hosted sql database solution. When RDS stripes your disks (I have seen it start when I jumped from 100GB to 300GB) you benefit from faster IOPS (I have seen 700 IOPS improve to 2500 IOPS. PIOPS (Provisioned IOPS) is the way to go in the long run though. |

Yes, you do.
However, if a single EBS that backs the RDS instance lags out (as EBS volumes in AWS are wont to do), you lose the iops.
The key point is that as the number of EBS volumes you depend on goes up, the chances of this happening goes up correspondingly.
Striping EBS volumes works, but I would not depend on it for a production environment.
