WHS2011 - Install OS to raid array or separate drive?

[SunnyD]

I'm guess that with DriveExtender gone, it really doesn't matter quite so much where the OS is installed. Just trying to figure out whether to shove everything on a RAID5 array or keep the boot drive separate. Comments/Thoughts/Suggestions?

IMO put it on its own drive.

Agreed. Put it on its own drive and then find the necessary hack(s) that keeps WHS from using it to store files.

agree - Own drive (I did it that way)

The "hack" to keep it from using the OS drive to create a data partition is just a simple config file with a couple lines in it on a USB drive during the install. Very easy.
