SATA and SAS disks on Hetzner.
Where to install?

I just got a server which has 2xSATA 1.5GB and 2xSAS 300GB and a 4-port hardware RAID adaptec controller.
It appears that the installimage provider by hetzner installed Proxmox on the SATA disks and the SAS RAID array is not even initialized (since in webmin I see only one SATA and ona SAS drive.
Considering the above hardware spec where should the basic OS be installed? I am assuming on the SAS drive but I need to clarify this with you people.

Thank you
 
If one could start over... I'd mirror the SAS drives, install PMX there, then use the SATA drives for VM's.
 
Hi,
because of the better IO-Speed of the SAS-Disk, you should use them for VMs!
The OS on Sata-Raid-1 is OK. I have some installation with OS + Backup on Sata raid-1 and VMs on SAS raid10.
