Co-located journals have multiple issues:

o The disks are presented with double the number of write ops -- and lots of 
long seeks -- which impacts even read performance due to contention

o The atypical seek pattern can collide with disk firmware and factory config 
in ways that result in a very elevated level of read errors.
