Thank you for asking this question on the Microsoft Q&A Platform.
I believe that using a data disk is not the best approach.
I recommend you use FSLogix
FSLogix enhances and enables a consistent experience for Windows user profiles in virtual desktop computing environments. FSLogix isn't limited to virtual desktop environments, but could be used on physical desktops where a more portable user experience is desired.
This is one of the key capabilities:
- Redirect user profiles to a storage provider. Mounting and using the profile from a storage provider eliminates delays often associated with solutions that copy profiles to and from a network location.
Important:
FSLogix can be a complex solution with various dependencies on other systems and infrastructure. We recommend that you engage with resources who have the following skill set or have these skills inherently:
- Identity and Authentication
- Storage design and architecture
- Active Directory, Azure Active Directory, or Azure Active Directory Domain Services
- Windows Deployment (Server or Desktop)
- Application Compatibility
