Directory Setup Best Practices

[jeffreywhunter]

I'm setting up my directory tree structure and wondering about 2 options.

 

1. All Shares across all disks - benefit(?) could be that (for instance) files are spread all over the place so the chance is pretty good that a file access (ie a movie) would come from different drives when multiple movies/files are being accessed (so less demand on the drive).

2. Groups of disks set for shares - All movies would be on Disk 1 and Disk 2 (for example).  Benefit(?) - fastest disks could be chosen for high volume files.

 

Am I thinking about this correctly?  Or is there a better strategy?
