workstation deployment

We had a new hardware platform.

2 raid-1's

1 raid-1 is OS

2 raid is not assigned.

Is the best vm performance going to be gained by having workstation on raid 1 and the vms on raid 2?

Or should worksation/vm's be on the same raid?

Or raid 1, raid 2, raid 3 >?

Treat the files inside the WS-installation directory like parts of the hosts operating system.
Dont change the default path unless you really have a good reason.
For performance tuning spread host OS and VMs over two disks.
If you have several VMs also try to spread the VMs over as many disks/spindles as you have / can afford.
