Hello All,
I have just recieved two 1TB WD caviar Black drives and will be using one as a boot drive and one as a drive for my home folder.
1 TB is clearly very large as a boot drive, and I think that it would be best to partition it, however I am not sure how much would be best for a partition?
Can anyone offer any advice?
Also, I have heard that the outer rings of the platters lead to quicker load times and that partitions using just these outer areas of the drives offer the best results. But how do I know if I partition a drive that it will use this outer section and not the inner one?
Please help me out as I need to reinstall my OS today, and need to know the best way to partition the drives?
