I'm posting this here because I'm hoping to get better performance and maintenance.
Previously, I would use windows as it was ie. Everything saved in the library, the downloads, pictures, vids… etc.
My 97 GB C partition was for Windows, programs and the library. I had two other partitions; 314 GB D: Mass Storage, where I would throw everything else in (like videos that windows did not automatically put in the library) and a small 52 GB E, for Urgent storage (because I knew I would suddenly need extra storage so I kept this as a reserve- only to use when urgent. I am a bad computer user, I know).
So, in the new organization, I want to make things less on C. I will merge D and E and create one BIG partition where almost EVERYTHING will be placed, except Windows and Programs.
That means the library will literally have nothing but shortcuts based in the new BIG partition (let’s call it F). So the download folder in Library will be really empty, but it will be a shortcut to another folder called F:Library\downloads. In other words, everything will be based in F, except Windows and Programs.
That said, C will probably need a smaller partition, while F will demand more, since it is already almost full. I was thinking, maybe 70 GB will be enough for C? and add the extra 30 GB to F?
It looks like a good idea, but is it? Do you think I should go with it?
Thanks
