Ron,
I\'m a Mac person for my PP. I don\'t use the internal 160gb HD on my MB Pro but instead use a series of external HDs. Someone told me if you have too many files on the internal it will slow down processing times. I don\'t partition my 1TB external HDs.
I\'m not a computer expert but just sharing my set-up.
Good luck.
Thanks,
Voltaire
I assume you are using usb external hds? Don\'t you loose speed that way?
I have an esata docking station and several sata hdd,s for my back up and storage with the esata set up they run at the same speed as your main drive. I have the c:drive for the operating system and programmes and have a second drive for everything else. Wouldn\'t worry about partioning the 500g c:drive just don\'t load it up with unwanted junk, also you can get some good mirroring software these days so you can make a copy of your c:drive and put it away for the day your main c:drive stops
