Well i buyed an ''Samsung 640 Gb F1" for 30€. Now i have 3 HDD's: Maxtor 120GB (IDE) + WD 320GB (SATAII) + SAMSUNG 640GB (SATAII). My question is how many partitions should i use? Maxtor 120GB = Windows 7 / WD 320GB = (Games? Apps?) Should i partition this in half? / SSG 640GB = (Music / Movies?) And this? Half too? 3? 4 parts?

I am a proponent of as little partitions as possible, so three partitions, one for each drive. My IMDb Ratings \| Fix NFOHump Cookies \| Hide Users / Threads \| Embedded Content (Videos/GIFs/Twitter/Reddit) \| The Derps Collection Death smiles at us all; all we can do is smile back.
