Topic: Question About HDD Partition

[Belphegor]

guys, i need some input, kasi 1 have a 500gig HDD. ok lang kaya na hindi ko na ito i-partition (like 250-250gig in 2 partition)? or magkakaroon siya ng malaking impact sa performance ng HDD in the long run??

any comments / suggestions accepted.

actually less partitions, faster access times. if you do the windows rating thing, you will notice that your HDD rating will be higher if your HDD has less partitions

[Belphegor]

so ok lang kahit hindi ko na i-partition?
whew. buti nagtanong muna ako, kasi plano ko sana i-partition na kasi nabasa ko mas less cluster pag partitioned yung HDD.
salamat sir bodieph

wala naman problema sa pagpartition. almost neglible na ang slow access time nito. wala ka dapat ikabahala.

at least dalawa partition mo. ang isa para sa OS mo at isa para sa DATA mo. in case na macorrupt yung OS mo o magkavirus man at hindi mo matanggal tangal yan lang ang ifoformat mo at safe at intact lahat ang DATA mo sa isang partition.

Yup advisable 2 partition, mas ok nga may image copy ka ng fresh install ng OS sa DATA partition para kapag dumating ang di inaasahan, may backup plan ka.

if you have the extra money i would rather get two HDD, one not so huge storage (say 320GB or less kung may mahanap ka pa) for OS and another one for your data.

problema kasi now with the large storage available, pag isang HDD lang gamit mo at nataon na tinamaan ka ng virus that affects the MBR or the disrupts the partition clustering. ubos ang laman nyan, kahit pa several partitions gamit mo, ubos lahat laman nun.

kaya ako at least dalawa HDD ko, one purely for OS and another for data. para in case na magkaprobelma yung sa OS, i can just reformat that and reinstall then i can proceed with recovery with the other HDD in case it was also affected

or if you have the money, go for an ssd, and a hdd... dapat talga dlawa hard drive... but if hindi afford, wala namang impact un sa performance. mas madali nga lang ang disk mgmt kapag nakapartition sa mas maliliit na disk spaces, kasi madali siya i-defragment. ako kasi nka 1TB, tapos 7 partitions ko, bale 2 primary, 5 logical... haha.

sa tingin ko tama na extra harddrive khit na 150 gig lng para sa OS,  kasi sa takaw ko mag download movies games software lpit na maubos laman ng harddrive ko
