One. Don’t bother. Partitions will slow you down for writes
It’s far more important for writes to have a dedicated, fast volume for your transaction log file (the LDF file) for that database alone. Don’t add log files either: one LDF on one volume only.
This is because of write ahead logging: One and Two. Simply, a data page may not be written to disk immediately, but your associated log entry must be confirmed as written for any given transaction
