So I got the PC assembled today, and i got to the partitioning phase..
I have a 2 TB, WD Black and 256 GB, Samsung 840 Pro
..and a 60 GB mSATA, Muskhin Atlas.. wanted to use it as cache for HDD, but now I found out that it can only do that for the booting disk. So I will use it for some important stuff.
This is my current plan, what do you think:
SSD:
C: SSD
-- OS (Windows 7), Security stuff, drivers, players (Flash player, Quick Time, Java, etc.) and often used programs (e.g. Photoshop, Office, Chrome)
HDD:
D: Documents
-- documents (Word, PowerPoint, PDFs, etc)
F: Files
-- Downloads, installers, temporary stuff I want to organize, and similar
G: Games
-- Well, games
M: Media
-- Images, music, videos
P: Programs
-- All the other programs that are less important (e.g. Music Players, DVD Burner, some sound editing program; there will also be big programs here, like e.g. AfterEffects, only few most important on the SSD)
mSATA SSD:
I will find something, suggest if u have ideas
---------
Is it ok to make 5 partitions on one drive? I saw some people make 8 or more.
I know its not good to partition the SSD, so i just left it as it is. The question with that is, is it ok to put the programs, drivers, all i listed, on the same place as the OS?
Short:
- Is my way of partitioning OK, what do you think?
- What should I put on my mSATA SSD?
- is 5 partitions on 1 drive OK?
- program on SSD with OS, OK?
Answers wanted, suggestions welcome
Thanx!
