Partitioning a 2012 essentials server
I'm setting up a server for a customer. They are having Windows server 2012r2 Essentials. 4x2tb drives (in raid 5). They will want to install some custom software onto it, and also use it to share files.
The question is, would you create 2 partitions to separate data and OS, or just one large partition for everything? What's the consensus here?
