Tech Question : Best way to partition big drives for perfomance (video editing)
Let's say I've got a 200 gig drive, I remember reading somewhere once to setup a seperate partition, of say 20-30 gigs and use it for windows only, plus the major applications, and use the other bigger partition as more of a media storage and temp drive for vid files...It makes sense to me that the access time for the applications may be better since the partition is so much smaller...am I in the right ballpark here?

I'm no expert but i think its better to have the programs and the videos on separate drives altogether. Makes sense right?

Better to have a seperate scratch drive for your videos only.

Back in the day, there were things you could do to ensure "optimal" performance by partitioning and making sure the sizes fell on certain boundaries etc. But these days I don't think it really matters. |

For best performance keep windows and programs on one physical drive and data / swap / scratch on a seprate (or multiple seprate drives).

I just bought a Maxtor One Touch III external 500 Gb hdd for $279. It was already formatted NTFS soo it was plug and play. I keep Windows and apps on my internal C drive and store all data, video clips, graphics, project files organized in folders on the external drives.

Thanks guys, yeah drives are pretty fucking cheap now, maybe I'll go with a 40 gig sata 10000 rpm for windows/apps and a bigger drive for files.
