Is it a good practice separate master.mdf and master_log.ldf in different
drives?
If yes, how?

Thanks,

Felipe

There is really no spceicially good reason for separating the master mdf file
and master ldf file to different drives. There aren't many changes on the
master database, and you can't use its log for point in time recovery anyway.
It's simpler to just put them in the same place.

Is there any system database that needs to have MDF and LDF in different
drives to improve performance, such as Tempdb?

Thanks,

Felipe

TEMPDB files should be in different drives as recommended
