Hi guys, was wondering whether I can get some help.
I want to partition my Mac HD for maximum performance with my various music production software.
1. If I have a 232GB HD with 68GB free, exactly what portion of the drive shall I partition for application use and how much for file memory?
2. I know in normal un-partitioned drives it is usually advised to keep around 20GB free so apps can run as fast as possible. How does this principal translate to a partitioned drive? Do I need to create my "speedy" partition 20GB larger than the current size of my Application folder?
3. How do I determine the size, each partition should be for optimum speed?
What folders do I need to calculate for the "speedy" partition & which for the "storage" partition?
4. How does one set up folders on the 2 drives after partitioning?
many thanks,
Josh
