2016 SQL Server on 2012 R2 VM on Server 2019 Hyper-V Host

Hi all, 

I'm tasked to setup a new SQL 2016 server on 2012 R2 VM hosted on Server 2019 Hyper-V host. 

This SQL server database will be used for bar code scanners, about 100 of them give or take.

The host has 2X300GB SAS drives in RAID-1 with the OS installed and 8X1TB SAS drives in RAID-5 

for storage. The disks in RAID-5 is where all the VMs and VHDX disks are stored. I usually install the 

SQL on the OS partition and then use a dedicated partition for database itself and a dedicated partition 

for TempDB files. I'd like to know if in the current scenario I would gain any benefits by splitting the SQL 

files between the three partitions since all three VHDX disks are residing on the same RAID-5 array?

Thank you!
