Volume sets can be both a benefit and a headache when it comes to
performance.

The concern I have based on you below discussion is the number of
spindles per controller as well as the location of master vs.
associated details on the drives.

Splitting the database across volume sets has it benefits if done in
an organized fashion taking advantage of evening up the I/O over the
existing controllers.

Feel free to contact us with any specific questions.
