  • You can use different RAID levels for data vs logs. Data often does best with RAID5, whereas logs often do best with RAID10.

  • Hi,

    Many thanks for the response,

    Yeah I understand the need for splitting out ldf and mdf files for performance benefits but was looking at it more from an SQL Server operational aspect. i.e Recovery benefits

    Many thanks

  • OK, sorry. I guess I interpreted "any other benefits" too broadly.
