Hi Sonia

When you say 'repertories', do you mean 'directories'?

To optimize a 'file type' device for maximum performance, tune the disk as
you would for a write-intensive application involving long sequential bursts
of data.  So, a RAID-5 or RAID-0 disk unit would be best.  Write-caching is
useless, as there is no repetition of the data (as would be the case with
small data writes).  If you are using NTFS, make sure you are using the
largest block size (cluster size) it supports (which, unfortunately, isn't
very large).  If the file system can become fragmented, make sure it is
defragemented on a regular basis.

Hope this help!
