| Yes it is true. It is best to put TempDB in different drive. Please check TempDB in msdn. |

| I agree with sodeep; it is created by system per instance and is advisable to have a separate drive for tempdb. Also, if tempdb is using it's max capacity, please restart the sql server to reclaim the disk space before it throws an error on tempdb full.Thanks,Sri. |

If you restart to reclaim tempDB space won't you take a bit of a performance hit while tempDB rebuilds itself? If its running close to its memory limit wouldn't it be better to resize tempDB via the alter database command? |

| Restarting SQL Server is the last option.It is better to plan for tempdb with space and have them in separate drive(ex: RAID 10) and split them based on processors. If many of the queries are using tempdb or Online Reindexing, you should find better alternative or tune the queries. |
