Thanks for the clarification.

That brings up another question. If our system is constantly experiencing I/O throughput problems on drive (or volume) G: and the disk utilization for same drive/volume has been near or at 100% for the past week would that indicate that the volume needs to be split into more volumes or the database files spread across more disks than they aready are?
