SQL Server Best Practices
- Put the SQL database on a separate drive, not the C drive
- By default, SQL places the database in program files on C, but this is not a good location. C drive is already busy handling the operating system, so best to but on a separate drive.

- This will provide best performance by not competeing with the main OS drive running the SQL server program
- Use SSD or fast drives if you need ultimate performance and speed
