Temp On C: Drive

  • Hi All,

    Server Structure:

    Sql Server 2008 R2

    C: SCSI Drive (Server's Drive)

    D: SATA

    E: SATA

    F: SATA

    The Temp DB is on C: as it is faster than the SATA drives. On the other hand putting tempDB in windows drive is also not advisable.

    Can anybody suggest whether moving tempDB from SCSI drive to SATA will improve the performance as it won't be the window's drive.

    Thanks,

    swaroop

  • It depends on the SATA generation, the SCSI version, how many I/O channels (drives, etc.) on each, the bus each is connected to on the motherboard, the buffer and I/O rate of the drives involved, and the buffer and configuration and hardware on any drive controller.
