    My laptop have 1tb hard drive. I am planning to make C and D drive, for C 200GB and D 800GB. Is it good enough ? Also how much GB you get from 1TB? 900gb or something ?

    Partition Sizes?

    My new system has 2 150 g Raptors in Raid0. I normally keep the O/S on one partition, installed applications on another, and my paging file on another partition. With a volume size of 300 gigs, what would you suggest as far as partition sizes are concerned?

    Thank-You. *Smile Help me decide partition size :)*Smile Help me decide partition size :)

  3. Partition Sizes?

    Depends on how much you need for each. For the one O/S....you should be looking at 15 GB (if using this partition to store things like documents, movies, pics...120 or more GB), page file...3-4 GB (since you only have 1 GB of ram), then the rest for installed applications.

    ^^ I would like to think that the gentleman is sufficiently intelligent to "interpret" the recommendations to suit his needs. He clearly has "other files" he wants to separate from the OS. The illustration is a reminder that more than two partitions can serve a purpose for file and directory management AND aid backup to equally sized HDDs.

    Who cares what "type" of data is he wants to manage. He can apply the pricinples as he choses. *Wink Help me decide partition size ;)

    Perhaps he archives interesting threads and comments from TPU moderators. I'd suggest he follows your suggestion of putting those in folders. The windows\temp directory for example. *Smile Help me decide partition size :)
