Is it worth partitioning M.2 drive with 1TB storage?
I’m buying a new computer, on the old one 8 years ago I had the HDD divided into two partitions, one for system/programs/music (etc.), the other for games. It helped me with organising and such.
Is it worth doing so in this case? Should I just add a folder for games on the disk where the system is located (and if everything is put on one disk (games, system, movies), will it run as fast as it should and won’t it slow it all down?)
I also have 2.5 SSD (also 1 TB) drive, but it’s probably not important now, and I don’t intend to do partition it or anything.
Lastly I’ve heard partitioning is not worth it anymore so I’m really confused right now
The only useful case I would consider for partitions is if you want to perform a clean install of windows, but don’t want to back-up data which would be kept on the second partition and only had a single storage device. Seems like you have access to multiple storage devices so partitions don’t seem to be a good idea.
Outside of that I hate partitions but that stems from an age when storage was expensive. To many times I found myself having enough free space spread across partitions but not enough in a single location to copy or install something. To me directories/folders were enough of a separation for organising stuff.
