Storing message files on multiple disks

Independent clients and Message Queuing servers can improve their messaging performance by storing the various files used to implement messaging across several physical disks. Message Queuing can use three different disks to implement message functions. For the best messaging performance on Message Queuing servers, put the messaging (*.mq) files, message log files, and transaction log files on separate physical disks.
