    Normally all the servers I am given have a C Drive and an E Drive, I've always just put everything on the E Drive.

    It's only SQL Server 2008 that has the shared folder location issue, which itself is fixed in a later CU. SQL Server 2008 R2 as far as I am aware should be fine. Test it first in your dev environment!
