I am going to be installing SP 2013 Standard in a farm config. We'll have four servers: 2 WFE/App servers, 1 SQL Server, and one app server dedicated to Search. On the SQL server, I plan on 2-3 partitions, 1 for the OS and 1-2 for the logs and databases. I am not sure about the WFE/app server or the search server, though. Any guidance is appreciated.

For SQL Server:
1) 1 for OS(80GB), 1 for data files( size depend upon your data), 1 for log files
For WFE/App Server:
1) 1 for OS( 80GB) , 1 For the ULS Logs & IIS Logs ( because Logs chew all the space sometime, when enable the verbose and have operation going on),

Thanks (again) Waqas! How about the search server? I am reading about indexed partitions, but I don't know if that is the same as having physical partitions. Commented Feb 24, 2014 at 15:38

just to separate concerns I also like to leave the default system databases on their own partition, with their logs on yet another partition, because they have crazy high transactions.– MikeCommented Feb 24, 2014 at 16:11
The advice from Waqas is good, I also like to have a "Data" drive (where I store site collection backups, and other exports). This allows me to have a backup drive that is different from the Logs and the OS drive.
