[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 1334275, member: 50033"] Actually, I would partition it 3 ways. One for TM (HFS). One for CCC (HFS). And a third partition you can read & write to (FAT32). Check how much data you are actually storing on your HD and allocate at least 2.0 times that amount for TM. If you plan on substantially increasing the amount of data stored on your Mac after the HD upgrade, then double that number and use it instead. Allocate the total capacity of your new internal drive as the size for the CCC partition. (320 GB) Whatever's left over is used for the read/write partition. Obviously, we have no idea how much data is involved, but, for the typical user, a good split might be. 380GB TM 320GB CCC 300GB Storage [/QUOTE]
