The drive heads are still gonna have to thrash back and forth from partition zone to partition zone, which is NEVER gonna be faster than having separate spindles, and the same or slower than a single partition with everything on it.
Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security _____ From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 4:31 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Basic Drive Partition Question I say yes. What if you create a partition on the faster, outer edge of the drive platters, and put your most accessed system files there, or the whole OS? And less accessed files toward the inside of the drive. _____ From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 2:56 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Basic Drive Partition Question Performance no, perhaps even a small hit to performance. But you can keep the data on another partition to keep it from filling and crashing the whole OS if it were just all on one partition. From: Bill Lambert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 3:57 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Basic Drive Partition Question We’ve been arguing here…and I can’t find anything definitive on Google… Is there any gain in performance if you have a single (NTFS) drive in two partitions? One partition for the OS and the other for everything else? I say no but it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been wrong.
