I have 9 partitions on a 500 GB SATA 7200 RPM HDD. I did this few years back to keep things in order. I was also not sure if individual folders instead of Partition would hold 40 GB Up to 100 GB or more data.
I am reformatting & Installing Win-7 ( 64 bit ) on this drive & would like to know if too many partitions would affect the performance or slow the pc down & should I reduce the number of partitions.
System is a Dell workstation T-7500 with following specs.
Processor : Intel Xeon E5645 @ 2.4 GHz
RAM : 12 GB
OS : Win -7 Ultimate ( 64bit )
What would you guys suggest ?
Thanks
