Hey all, I know there are a lot of very knowledgeable people here, so...
I'm assembling a new Windows pc with a 2tb ssd and a 2tb hdd. My question is about partitioning the ssd:
- with a single partition, I'm not wasting any space resulting from over-allocating for the OS and apps... but in my mind it's a bit messy (even though Windows deals well with it), and I'm not sure if it's as flexible for doing disk imaging for backups and restore options?
- with a partition for the OS and apps, I have no idea how much space to allocate. My old pc has a 120 Gb partition, but it's very very full (and that was windows 10). At the same time, I don't want to overdo it and end up with a lot of unused disc space... 250gb maybe?
I'm sure I haven't thought of all the pros and cons of the two options, so I'm hoping for some opinions and advice.
Thanks!
