What about when you get a bad sector in a drive (happened to me recently), if the drive is partitioned you only lose the data on the bad partition. Then you can zero-out that partition and reuse it (bad sectors will be locked out). Also it makes searching for missing audio files easier.

Re: Partition size for Panther
Keeps apps with the OS.
We've seen no performance increase by partitioning. |

As far as defraging, we use Copyagent (for OS9) and CarbonCopyCloner(OSX) to backup our system drive, then simply reinitianlize and restore. we've found this to be the most effective and efficient way to defrag on the Mac. |

Re: Partition size for Panther
Im thinking of getting rid of my 10 Gb drive with jaguar, and getting a 7200rpm 80 Gb drive with a 15 Gb partition for Panther.
However, I heard you should always record to a fast drive (7200rpm) but I also heard that it is smart to keep your system on a slower drive. Personally I dont think that would make a diference. Isn´t it so that faster is always better regarding harddrives. Anyone have any comment on that? |

And I think it would be a good thing to buy that drive. And it will work just fine... The person that told you that maybe MEANT, it would be useless to get a faster drive because the system/application/whatever don't even read data that fast... Which (only sometimes) is true... BUT IT COULDN'T HURT IT in any way, or be at any less of a performance to use a drive that is faster than you need.... |
