Why hard disks are important in performance tuning
Of all the components in a computer, the auxiliary storage devices are the slowest. While the hard drives (i.e., DASD) are the fastest of all the auxiliary storage devices, they are painfully slow when compared to the speed of the other components (which operate at essentially the speed of electricity). It is, therefore, essential to make sure that your hard drives are tuned to the utmost.

Balance your disk usage for optimum performance
The iSeries does a better job of balancing and managing disk usage than probably any other machine in the industry, but there are times when things get a little out of sync. As of V4R4, IBM has provided a solution that will address several disk performance issues.
