Plan is to run one VM that will be a relatively sandboxed WWW/FTP server. Server that will be the host runs MS CRM and related SQL 2008. SQL is installed on C: but the datafiles are on D:. No spindle separation of logs/DB. (not my call) 12G pagefile is on D:. Plenty of disk space on C: and D:, 8 GB ram. C: is a 2-drive RAID1; D: is a 4-drive RAID5. > > I’m trying to decide where to put VMWare and the VM files for best performance.
