Should database files be on different disk(s) than OS?

dba.stackexchange https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/40689

Question

My very short overview

  • SQL Server databases are installed as virtual machines on VMWare, there are plugged a few disk areas with the same (or very similair) parameters

  • versions are SQL Server 2005/2008 R2 Standard installed on Win2003/2008 Datacenter

  • Databases files are saved on another disk as is WinOS installed

Is this logic about good practicies, or are there other important, significant arguments for or against, why we should do this (or not do this)?

No correct solution
