I just got a new Hitachi 2TB drive to use as my storage for my HTPC/File server (in addition to SSD as OS drive).
The drive is gotto have basically Documents, Pics, Music (lots of FLAC), and Movies.
Knowing the speed difference between inside/outside of the drive, HOW should I partition the drive to take the most advantage of speed? Not sure which media needs the higher speed? I wanna make sure I can easily search for pics/docs, easily navigate music and scan movies quickly.
I was thinking of something like this:
Partition 1 [500 GB]: Docs/Pics
Partition 2 [500 GB]: Music
Partition 3 [1 TB]: Movies
Thanks
