I'm building another system and have the opportunity to partition the layout of it using two up to date hard drives, and am wondering what's considered the ideal.
Would it be best to place the OS on one drive, with the pagefile and programs on another? Does the placement of My Docs and media really matter in that case?
I'd originally planned to just have everything on multiple partitions on the same drive and use the other purely for backup, but I've read that unless you have the pagefile on another drive entirely, there really isn't much speed benefit. It seems like the benefit of putting it on it's own drive might also apply to programs.
Any ideas?
