My question is regarding the webroot and log file location? Everywhere on MS

site it is recommended that it should be seperated for higher performance. My

question is - Will seperate logical drive (seperated by array configuration)

will give enough boost in performace if your web servers are heavily used and

have high I/O in hard disk?

FWIW, you will likely not notice any improvements. The general rule

is that log files always get put on separate physical drive

subsystems, separate arrays or physical drives, often RAID0 or a stand

alone drive since they don't need the redundancy for protection. This

is tru for SQL Server, Exchange and many others. But you *really*

need to be hammering a box before the speed difference will be an

issue.
