So I just got a 1TB Western Digital external hard drive and have a question about Time Machine. After reading over the Apple website it looks as if Time Machine will keep using all the space it can on the hard drive until it is full. My problem is I wanted to use the HD for not only Time Machine but also storing music and movies. Should I partition the HD into two 500gb chunks or only use the HD for Time Machine and buy a second HD for other storage? Can you even partition the HD for use with Time Machine? Thanks for any help in advance.
