Home Forums SQL Server 2012 SQL 2012 - General SSD + HDD Server, where I install os, sql binaries, mdf, ldf and tempDB? RE: SSD + HDD Server, where I install os, sql binaries, mdf, ldf and tempDB?

  • I would say put the DATA and LOG on the SSD (including tempdb), os on C:\ and binaries on D:\.

    Backup can be done to the HDD or SSD depending on how fast it has to be done (HDD should be good enough unless you need 100MB/s+ backup speed).

    SSD have incredible perf, you should not waste it by creating a bottleneck with DATA or LOG on a HDD.
