    Although we can find reasons to do or not to do it, I suggest you create different logical drives.

    Why?  Making a recommendation with no reasons offered isn't very useful to someone.

    In the company I'm working for, we have thousands of MSSQL instances with different hardware and centralization management tools. The reasons that I suggest we create different logical drives are very simple, 
    1. It might be helpful to keep them consistent among different instances. Otherwise, it probably brings extra work on tools or maintenance. And I'd like to keep thing as simple as possible.
    2. I just like it if it doesn't hurt much:-)
