I/O competition from different disks
Authored by: makip on Oct 12, '04 06:26:45AM

A further clarification: moving a swap file to another disk improves performance if that disk can be accessed independently of the system volume.

SCSI and SATA drives can be read and written to simultaneously on the same bus, but ATA drives cannot, they would need to be placed on seperate busses for a performance increase.
