Hi. I just bought an Asus N76VJ and I now have an SSD as primary at 250 gigs and a secondary HDD with 1 TB of storage. I'm using Windows 8. I also have an external 1TB HDD drive for backups.
I would like to use the second as storage for most of my files such as docs, pictures, music, videos etc. Are there any suggestions to number of partitions and volumes I might create and what I might want to put where? I'm currently thinking 3 partitions if necessary. Also, should some of that space allotted on this drive for anything I've overlooked?
At the same time I'd like to make the most of my SSD which still has about 230 GB available. There is a recovery partition already formatted there as well. Operating system, drivers, programs, apps will be on the primary. For the sake of speed, I am wondering if I should have some space where I can keep current files I am using close at hand while having them saved simultaneously to their place on my secondary when I save them on my SSD. I'm not quite sure what's the most efficient way to do that. Someone also mentioned to me that I might assign a pathway to different kinds of files. I'm not sure how to do that either.
Lastly, I suspect that I will have a fair amount of space left over on my SSD and how do you think I best utilize that? Thanks for any suggestions.
