• Consider windows page file, tempdb, db files, and log files as candidates to move.

    Also part of the picture is as others point out, what kind of IO patterns there are.

    And if this is a dedicated SQL server, or runs other applications.

    There also is a balance of cost to service level and recoverability, unless budget is of no concern.

    If you have a test environment, and a few extra old disks available (nothing fancy needed), you could set up and move the files.

    Then run some load tests.

    Lots of things to consider.

    I tend to get some local disk for some activity, but have some SAN partitiions carved out for those I need throughput and recoverability on.

    You could also search for some of the whitpapers on SQL Server Performance.

    They have some very good information, although these tend to be more for those where budget does not play a factor.

    I don't have the neeed to load 1 TB in less than 30 minutes.

    But it is interesting to see what it takes.
