Hello, I have recently bought an iMac after being a PC user for many years. It has 1 TB internal hard drive. I would like to make two partions: one bootable for the system and applications and the second for files, so in the situation of having issues with the system (I know you will say it is stable, but anyway ) I would have my partion with files safe.
I'm not sure what the size of the system partion should I make to have enough space for my current and future needs (I usually keep my computer for at least 5 years). I know it would depend on software I would like to install. Basically I'm not really a gamer (although kids may be one day), I would install Photoshop, Illustrator, some video editting software, not really that much. Would you think that 200 GB be enough or should it be bigger?
I was also thinking about making 3rd partition and leave it blank just in case I would like to install and try any new Mac OS releases in the future. What do you think about this? I'm not that familliar with Mac OS and how big immprovements new releases of OS offer.
Thanks in advance.
