    Tips for 2TB HDD partitioning

    I recently acquired two drives of 1TB each. Now I ask myself the question how well the partition? Is it wise to create a disc of one TB? Or should I make it smaller?

    Personally I run 1TB for Windows and 1.5TB for my document which results in a crash. So better you sort your drive in smaller to avoid the loss of your data.

    4 x 500 seems to be not too bad either?

    Avoid having too many partitions, you find yourself stupidly with a lack of space on one partition and you will be blocked. If you can actually reallocate the space with partition magic. But for a top four partitions you leave the room to see what happens.

    1st partition: VIDEOS
    2nd partition: MP3
    3rd partition: Games
    4th partition: Datas

    After you adjust to the size of the partitions according to what you most. You understand me, try to see
