Suggestion on Optimal Directory Setup for SQL Server 2012

Question

I realize this question may be somewhat subjective, but I believe there is one or a few optimal configurations for what we are trying to achieve.

We are setting up a new SQL Server. We have two independent hardware RAID systems on our server:

First RAID (drive "c") - RAID 1: 2 x 1TB

Second RAID (drive "d") - RAID 10: 5 x 2TB

With the goal of getting the optimal IO performance for SQL Server 2012, does anyone have some suggestions on how I might setup the different directories for optimal performance?

Thanks so much.

Answer 1

I believe I found what I was looking for. While this article is a little older (2010), I'm sure the information is still valid:

This Technet article doesn't have a scenario including a RAID 1 and a RAID 10, but I will assume it is safe to conclude that user databases and user database log files would perform better on RAID 10 than 5.
