Hello, just got my brand new 1 TB (WD My Passport Studio) which I plan to use with my unibody macbook with a 160gb storage capacity.
My plan is to use it for Time Machine, MAC files which I want stored in a separate location (e.g. second library for Iphoto, movie files) and maybe some PC files in the future, so after doing my research on the net I am leaning towards dividing it into 3 partitions
One partition for Time Machine use only
Second partition for PC files (FAT 32)
Third partition (OS extended journaled) for my MAC files which I would want to be stored in a separate locations (e.g. second library for Iphoto, movie files)
Do you think this is a good idea? I would like to get your opinion (especially those long time MAC users out there
)
Also, heard good reviews on Carbon Copy Cloner can I also use it on my
Third partition? (OS extended journaled)
This is my first external hd and first time to use Time Machine so I hope you can advise....
Thanks in advance!
