Hi, my server config

1) 2TB x 10 HW RAID 5 configured and 1 RAID 0 for OS
2) created a entire 16 TB volume as /dev/sbd

once the PE 4.3 installed followed the below steps

pvcreate /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb
4 vgextend pve /dev/sdb
5 lvextend -L +16400G /dev/pve/data
as a result entire 16 TB got added and can be visible from webGUI for storage

now is it a best practice or shall break it into 8 TB x 2 volumes while configuring intial RAID
does breaking the volumes in small size improve proxmox VM performance ?
Kindly suggest

Thanks
Upendra
