Is the hard disk a good single partition or multiple partitions?

How to partition the hard disk is also annoying to many people. Some people think that a single partition is good. Some people think that multiple partitions are good. In fact, whether it is a single partition or multiple partitions, there are certain benefits, but it depends on the individual circumstances. Just take a look at which partition you are suitable for.

Single partition advantage:

1 Improves disk space usage efficiency without wasting storage space. I believe that I have encountered the next big file, obviously there is still a certain space in each district, but no one can put it down.

2 Two files are moved in the same partition. No matter how big the file is, it is almost instantaneous, which is very convenient.

3 Don't worry about the best partitioning scheme every time you divide the hard disk, such as the number of C disks, the number of D disks, the number of E disks, you don't have to think about how to get an integer partition, simple and direct.

4 No need to do anything manually. “Lossless dynamic space adjustment” (such as PQ), the data is more secure.

5 almost no need to change the installation path, change the download path, change a variety of other paths, some have to enter the registry to change, increase instability. Sometimes you don't know which ones can change and you can't change them.

6 partitions are large, reducing the chance of disk fragmentation.

7 The current software program and system are very tightly integrated. Even if the installation path selects a non-system partition, a large number of program files will be written into the system partition. A single-partition software program does not appear in the system partition, and there is a part of the separation phenomenon in other partitions, resulting in a large jump in the head of the head, the running performance of the software program will not decline, the most typical C disk system disk, the game is installed in Other discs.

8 There is no risk of data loss due to incorrect operation of formatting the hard disk.

Multiple partition defects:

1 The same hard disk is not easy to use multi-system, especially multi-system across brands. However, more and more advanced virtualization technologies will solve this problem.

2 In the case of storage disasters such as physical bad sectors, the probability of all the same hard disk data being lost is higher than that of multiple partitions. The more partitions, the smaller the probability of loss. However, will someone divide a hard disk into 128 partitions to increase security? External backup is king!

Under the traditional mechanical hard disk, the last installed software program does not occupy the best performance hard disk outer ring. However, the popularity of SSDs will solve this problem.

4 previous system file management is not convenient. However, the emergence of the library concept has solved this problem.

5 bad grid installation clean system. However, the emergence of WINRE has solved the problem of installing a clean system on the grid.

Comprehensive conclusion:

With the popularity of WIN7 and SSD, the hierarchical level of single-hard disk single system is ranked:

1, single partition, the most scientific and reasonable points law.

2, double partition.

3, more than two partitions, the most backward conservative method.

Before the SSD is popular, the mechanical partition has a significant performance gap between the inner and outer circles. The dual partition is a good compromise:

1 Make a small amount of space for the C drive, only use In the installation system, try to keep the system disk pure; D disk put all the software programs and data and mirror backup. This makes it easy to reload the grid, or to easily take advantage of the GHOST that many people admire (I personally dislike GHOST).

2 Draw a lot of space for the C drive, install the system and all software programs (including large games); D drive data (work documents and music movies, etc.) and mirror backup. In this way, the system and the software program are not separated, and occupy the outer ring with the best performance of the hard disk.

Now I know what kind of partition I am suitable for. The benefits are listed above. It is better to decide which partition to decide. I will patiently read the article and make a judgment. I hope to help everyone.
