Notes:

Also, for a stand alone sql server, you will want to place the mdf, ldf, backup files in separate sas,san, ssd, raid configured san setup uptimally for the individual files you are storing.
Below shows SQL Server Configuration Manager 2014. Remember to enable TCP/IP and restart the SDE and SSA – SQL database and sql server agent engines.
