haven't posted in a while, and finally I am getting an upgrade from my iBook G4 (10.4.11)
I think I'll be getting an iMac I have always partitioned my drives about 2/3 for the OS and apps and 1/3 for files - or writing files to. I like the benefit of having "two" drive mainly because it takes much lsee time to defrag a sammler drive however I have heard that snow leopard does not benefit from partitioning or from defragging. (could that be true?) I have always been fond of my "tool" programs to keep my system up and running at its best. Like TechTool , Drive Genius, Onyx, and of course applejack. any thoughts on if there is a reason to partition or not? thanx --Ian aka ArchivalAudio -------------------- ~ Archival Audio ~

Partitions won't help you to get better performances.
On the contrary, the same HD has to deal with the OS/Apps/audio. At the same time... -------------------- MacPro dual 2.66 - 8 Go - SL10.6.6- DP 7.2.1 - RME FFCE 800 - URS, Sonnox, Stilwell, Nomad Factory, Kontakt 4.2.2, Trillian, Stylus, EZ drummer, SD2, UVIworkstation, Altiverb - KRK - JBL
Neve 8801 - Brauner - Roland A-37, etc. |
