I totally agree about being very careful with partitions. When I first started down this route, I made the mistake of too many small drives, not allowing enough room and had to move things round etc.

After a virus forced me to reformat the entire computer, I started again with much larger ones. I only create a new volume as I need it and leave free space available to extend the drive if necessary.

I hope to get a new computer just for music with the the Tera size HD and I'll work the same way with it. I like seeing the separate drives, I know if they're filling up and I can just defrag the ones that need it, usually the Sib drive as I'm editing and saving all the time.

This is just the way that suits me and I'm happy with, so please don't think I'm trying to push my way of organizing on to anyone or anything. I just wanted to explain that I don't use lots of small partitions, rather a few larger ones with room to expand.

A good subject to discuss, lots of food for thought.
