I keep reading people of how they 'partition' their drives and use SSD w/ os+programs and their other hd as storage for music/data. It all sounds good but jesus i aint spending all that money for a SSD just so things are "faster" .. lol anyways.

how would I use my 1TB hard drive efficiently?

200 GB - OS/Programs
200 GB - Music Projects/Kits/Samples
600 GB - Data (pictures/music/etc.)

would that be reasonable to partition thing?

also im confused with this "DVD writer stuff" lol! i dont know if this is weird or not but on my current desktop i have actually two DVD-writers but one of them i bought seperately as it's a "storage drive and a dvd-writer" many people i told this to think im weird and dont know what im talking about but i do have 320GB of space on it as it also writes dvd lol. should i take it out and use it as a dvd writer for my new build?

if you haven't tried ssd then don't laugh, to each his own. i own one and will never go back to mechanical drives when it comes to OS, i also put my games in the ssd, just a few because there's not much space.

and you dont know what an ssd can do to a laptop. i use dekstop btw

fair enough kind sir, but I shall save the money.. maybe in the future I might add one in... but as of right now I need to figure out how to partiton a 1TB drive to the way I said it. and with just one im guessing if the HD corrupts on me, i lose all the stuff right since everything going to be on one drive?

Okay, first of all, I'd recommend you create a 250GB partition for Windows, and a 750GB partition for your games and files. If windows ever gets messed up you can just do a clean install over the 250GB partition for windows and not worry about having to move files to another drive then back.

There's no such thing as a DVD writer that has 320GB of space... you must have a external hard drive with 320gb of space? I would need to know what the name of these drives are called.

Also, SSD for Windows and applications are not a waste, they are a huge upgrade to any PC still using a mechanical drives for Windows.

DVD writers are obsolete now for home users, you don't need one except in certain scenarios, everything has become digital. Even normal DVD drives are almost obsolete for most people.
