[QUOTE="TheChemist, post: 342365, member: 20232"] I ordered a LaCie Big Disk Extreme (500 Gb), which is to arrive later this week. I'm still new to Mac and its workings, so I would like your opinion on the following: I'd want to partition this drive into 3 segments: 1) Backup (I'm slowly running out of space on my iDisk) 2) Time-Machine (when ever Leopard plans on being released) 3) Storing my files: Docs, music, movies, etc. And here are the Questions: 1) What do I use to partition my drive? 2) How much space should I allocate for Time-Machine? 3) What is this Journaled business? Should my drive be journaled or whatever? 4)Am I forgetting anything else? Thanks [/QUOTE]
