Create a database with proper configuration taking in the following consideration:
- pre size the data file and auto growth property of the data file
- pre size the log file and auto growth property of the log file
- have each data and transaction log file on its own physical drive
- sizing based on the activity that your environment uses
- base your size roughly on two or three years of growth patterns
