SQL Server 2008R2 Standard running on Server 2012R2 Hyper-V. I need to add another database and I'm wondering if I should create a new VMDK disk (1TB) on the host and stuff the db files in it as usual or use a network share (maybe via Internal virtual switch?) and store the files on the host that way. I probably wouldn't consider this if it wasn't for SMB 3.0. But I still don't know what the advantage would be. Maybe have the share as a storage space for growth?
Opinions?
TIA
