I'd put all SQL binaries for all instances on S in most situations, with the folders providing the separation) If I have multiple instances, I won't make 4 of these. S - Instance level files/SQL Server system databases and log files typically (except for TempDB) (note.D - Program files for all apps (including SQL Server).Here is what I tend to do when given an unlimited number of drive letters to play with (at a minimum. But if you do that - at least make sure you take your system database files and potentially your default backup location and move it someplace else. You can put the SQL Server binaries/instance files in the same place you tend to put your other program files. You are protecting yourself from others, basically. You are isolating SQL Server's binaries from other programs and ensuring availability of some of the critical folders like the Logs folder where error logs go - this folder needs to be accessible for SQL Servers start up.

This can give you some different options for recovery in the event of a crash on the C drive, it can help keep the OS from causing or receiving space related issues from sharing with other apps. Some People are in favor of keeping their "C" drive dedicated to just the OS and OS binaries.With regards to splitting the instance root there are a couple arguments in favor of doing it.

I know it's possible to change many of the default paths when installing SQL Server, and generally when I do an install I change the data and log folders to be on separate drives (typically D and E), however I've recently been given a pre-installed machine which is running an instance name other than the default and they've configured the instance root directory to be on the D drive along with the mdf files.
