    How to partition external hard disk?


    I doubt it would make a difference with such a large capacity drive, but you can try of course if you have a harddrive with the extra software already on it lets say for samsung ext. hdd's they usually have 3 folders already on the drive out of the box so if you get rid of those that could save some space, but at that point if you are considering saving up space on a Terabyte storage I would advise to get either a bigger capacity one or another one of the same.
