I just got in a new 500G Firewire 400 HD from OWC, (their WD Neptune), I
haven't had a large HD before so I first tried searching this forum's
archives - but didn't quite find an answer to my question.
I see 3 possible ways to go before I put this to use.
My first unededucated thought is to make five folders,  one for backup, one
music, one pics etc.
However, because of its size, is there any good reason to make say 5
partitions of 100G each?
Or perhaps one 30G with Apps and System clones CCC'd as a boot backup, and
one 470 for everything else?
Thanks, Del
