Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Separated hard disks for Operating System and applications - better IO performance ? Post 302461855 by jgt on Tuesday 12th of October 2010 02:30:56 PM
Old 10-12-2010
I set up systems with the OS on drive 0 and the application and data on drive 1.
Even with RAID, I set up logical drive 0 with the first two spindles, and then use the rest for data.
The biggest advantage is ease of creating a standby machine.
Performance will depend on how well you can balance the IO between disks.
