Multiple Drives: 1 Large Array vs 2 Smaller Arrays

$

Hey,

General question as I am in the process of rolling out a storage solution that will support a lightweight ESXi environment.

If I have 8 physical drives (all identical capacity and speed), would I get better performance out of 1 large array running the datastore for all or splitting the drives into 2 arrays of 4 disks each and load balancing across 2 datastores?

Thoughts?

My initial thought is that with none of the VMs being extremely I/O intensive the large disk single disc array would be better.
