Database File Placement Layout?We are planning to implement a new SQL Server 2014 OLTP Database with a 1 TB Data file and 1 TB Log File. I am looking at the possible layout of the database files and trying to determine the best possible configuration. My knowledge/research tells me that items which need separate storage due to constant simultaneous access are: Data files – should go on the fastest reading storage.Log files – should go on the fastest writing storage.TempDb – involves a lot of writing at the same time the data files are being read.Indexes - (including full text indexes) - involves a lot of writing at the same time the data files are being read. Also, are there any benefit to having multiple OLTP Database Log files? Because SQL Server writes to the log file sequentially, I do not see any advantages to having multiple database log files. In a SQL Server 2012 Class I took last summer, under “Determining File Placement and Number of Files”, it states “Use a single log file in most situations as log files are written sequentially.”Thanks in advance.
