• My preference is to have tempdb on a separate disk, as there can be some quite heavy action in tempdb. If master, model and msdb are on the same disk as the data files is less of a concern.

    Of course, since it is a SAN, there is a risk that it is all the same disk anyway, all depending on how the LUNs are carved out.
