[QUOTE="bob_gnarley, post: 839496, member: 98418"] Excellent, much thanks to both of you for your input. I got the idea to split up a single hard drive from this article, [url=http://macperformanceguide.com/Mac-SettingUpYourMac.html]Macintosh Performance Guide: Setting up Your Mac[/url] In the "Avoid Mixing Data With System and Applications" section I know he says that you preferably don't want to put your data on the same physical drive as your system, but that you can partition one drive into two partitions as a halfway solution if you only have one internal hard drive, such as with a Macbook Pro. Is it bad computer hygiene then to partition a single internal drive like I have done? And since you have recommended sticking to just one partition, what do you guys do for your scratch disk when you're on the move and can't haul around an external HD with you? Thank you again [/QUOTE]
