Private Message Queues - best practice

Hi all,
I'm using private message queues on ev server local drive.
Running deployment scanner I can see a warning on message queues because there are on local drive.
What is the problem?

Thanks all

    Yeah I think it is OK

    We archive 100,000 email in a day through a Journaling task and our MSMQ is on the system drive and we have seen no performance issue. Actually we have exceeded what is stated in the official benchmarks

    No real problem just best practice to have the message queues not on the system drive for performance purposes

    Thanks Paul.
    It is better using a secondary drive if it's more slow than system drive?
    The difference between performance is really obvious?

    It will depend on the amount of data you are processing. If your amoutn of data is small then it is not an issue but if you are processing 100,000 email every day then you may see issues

    I've about 500 users that archived every day 5/40 items for user, (about 10.000 items a day).
    The scheduled archive task start when users don't work.
    Do you think I continue to use private message queues on my system drive?
