I know that you can move SQL Server database to new location with detach/attach stored procedure (MS KB 224071).
My question is related only to system databases and I would like to know if you, experts people, can suggest to have master,model and msdb log files on a different array too.
I have all user *.MDF files on disk E: (Array 1) and all user *.LDF log files on disk F: (Array 2).
Is it safe and a good practice to also move to disk F: system log files?
And what about tempdb?

My configuration:

IBM x400:

4 CPU Intel Xeon 2.0 GHZ
Front size BUS 400 Mhz
2048 KB L2 cache
4 GB PC133 Dimm RAM.

FastT 700:

14 drives 2 of this as Hot Spare, 1 for each battery of disks on the IBM Total Storage FASt T700 Storage Server with Dual Active RAID Controller-2GB Cache - Battery Backed.

For the operating system we use the 2 x 36.4 GB 15K U160 SCSI Hot Swap internal, managed with IBM ServeRaid 4Mx U160 SCSI.

Any help is really appreciate!
Kind regards.

I don't think it would buy you anything. TempDB should be seperated, but I don't think the other system DBs need to be.
