Is there a limit in the amount of TSM managed Disk.

We Currently have a Tiered Storage Architecture ie

SAN for 18 Months
      Inline Disk (TSM managed ATA Disk for 10 Years)
            TAPE ( TSM over 10 Years)

When you have TSM managed disk running on an ATA array, is there an optimal
FILE Device Max Capacity ( currently it is set to 10 Megs)
Does TSM have a problem when the file volumes reach several 100 000

Is it better to have large volumes than small volumes.

How does TSM read the Managed Disk Volume?? Does it open the file copy into
memory and then read or rather does to open the file find object and then
stream the object back??
