Ok.. I have read that it is a good idea to put your Windows swap file on a different hard drive that isn't accessed that often to get optimal performance. I have also heard it is good to locate the swapfile on the outer portion of a hard drive as it provides better performance.
Putting these 2 ideas together, I basically would want to create a small partition - on the outer portion of the drive - for just the swap file on a second hard drive... with the rest of that hard drive being another partition for file storage or whatever.
Therefore the big question is:
How do I know where the partitions will be placed on a hard drive when I create them? How can I ensure that the small 'swap file' partition is placed on the outer portion of a hard disk?
Maybe there is some standard logic that the partitions are created in order from the outside to the inside of the drive or something? Anyone know the answer?
