One server Dirve, multiple ESXi Partitions?

Hi,

I am getting a DELL R710 with ESXi on a SD. On one set of disks I am putting the VMs OS and on a different set of disks I want to put the data, but I would like the Guest to see the drives as RAW, not as a Virtual Disc.

If I used a SAN I would be easy, but I only have the disk set on the R710. Can I take the 500GB of disk space and create 4 partintions in ESXi and give each partition as a raw disk to the 4 Guest OS? (the Guest OS is Win2K8 R2)

Thanks.
