Question Is partition necessary for 1TB SSD boot drive?

[samsearching]

Hello guys,

I just replaced my old 250GB Samsung SSD with Crucial MX500 1TB SSD.
However, I am wondering now If is it okay to use it as it is without partition?
I have cloned my old drive to it successfully.
I will be using it for program files and some temp cache storage.

My current setup:
CPU: -Intel Core i7 5820K @ 3.30GHz
MOTHERBOARD: -MSI X99A SLI PLUS(MS-7885)
GPU: -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
RAM: -Corsair VENGEANCE® LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 - CMK8GX4M1A2400C16
PSU: -Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 750W Bronze
SSD: -Crucial MX500 1TB SSD
HDD: -1+1= 2TB
COOLER: -NH-D15S

I went with everything default setting of partition. I hope it is fine.

I don't see a big chunk of unallocated space so everything looks good.

Thank you for quick reply. I still have to install couple of programs. I guess this has nothing to do with unallocated space. So I will keep the partition as it is.
