Partitioning a Z96 ?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I just ordered this... with a 100gb S-ATA drive. Do I need to make like say a 20-20-60 GB partition with 20 being the Main OS, and 20 for Apps and the remaining being the software. Ideas/ suggestions?

Why partition it at all?

There's no performance benefit and there's no real additional security or data protection gained.

Thought there's a performance benefit since all the files for the OS for instance are all in one sector?

I think the benefit would be to store data files, if your Windows corrupted in drive C and you need to reformat it and you don't want to lose all your files, it would be nice to have another partition to store all your data files on drive D.

From my point of view, 2 partitions is enough. One(C for a OS system file and application file, another(2nd partition) is used for data and image. Data can be saved in a different folders which can be renamed as easy as understand. Just the same as Ken Lee said that it is safe if a Windows is crashed, then we don't need to format the whole HD, only format one partition. It will not have any performance benefit for speed and access time about this for making many parititions.
