i dont partition my hdd.
i have them separately.
its faster since..say.if ur using photoshop and saving big files..the partitioned hdd will at the same time write and read the program files at the same time saving the file on another partition while at the same time writing the temp on another partiton in the same hdd..
equation : SataII 3.0Gbps / 3
it will difintly slow down the process. a gud example is to send 3 different 50mb file to ur usb drive one after another @ 1 second interval.
even HDD with NCQ suffers this bottleneck.
while..having different hdd maximizes the read and write capability of the hdd simultaneously on differnt drives.
writing | reading on Drive C: OS Disk- say 80GB full partition
writing | reading on Drive d: Scratch Disk- say 80GB full partition
writing | reading on Drive e: Files Disk- say 80GB full partition
equation : SataII 3.0Gbps / 1 Full Speed
get the point?
and to multiply nod partitioned HDD read | write capability..RAID is applied..in many flavors
