Avoid using a mixture of device types with different track capacities for the work data sets, since MFX sacrifices some efficiency if this is the case.

If you must choose between two different disk device types for the work data sets, use the faster; if they are close in speed, use the one with the larger track size.

Avoid the use of VIO data sets for work data sets.
