I try to limit the amount of time I'm simultaneously reading from and writing to any DSSU. In my testing here with SATA Disk I take a pretty big performance hit on the write to tape - in the neighborhood of 80%. You could probably do better with FC or SAS Disks, but you are still going to take a performance hit.
