Hard drive partitioning

Interface is fast. But same hard drive. So, no performance gain at the moment.

What I meant to say was you've got data close to 1T, so fater the better!!!!

Ok. But what do u think about super fast hard drives. Like WD Raptor

Key Features

Killer Speed - World's fastest SATA drive: 10,000 RPM, 4.5 ms seek, 8 MB cache.

Enterprise-class Throughput - With WD's Ultra/150 Command Queuing technology that optimizes the sequence of data transfers to the hard drive from the host, resulting in higher performance in enterprise applications.

Rugged - Enterprise-class mechanical platform with high-end bearings and actuator.

Unsurpassed Reliability - 5-year limited warranty and 1.2 million hours MTBF

Still no difference between SATA and PATA. This is because the sustained sequential read/write speeds of the fastest hard drive is slower than 90MBps whereas PATA interface speed is 133MBps. PATA interface bandwidth is not yet exhausted by any drive, so they can't be slower than SATA. The difference could be less than 1%.

But it's always better to go with SATA because it's the latest technology.

I have Six partitions
80GB 4 partitions
40GB 2 Partitions.

But they are not equal in size.

I dnt feel much difference from SATA and PATA.
My 80 is SATA and 40 is PATA.
They both work fine.

Oh wow. 6 partitions in 120GB. Why would you need so many partitions, in such a small space?

What is SATA ( Serial ATA ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA


What is PATA ( Parallel ATA )http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_ATA

 

[pasanlaksiri]

10 partitions
250 GB 2 disks

250 GB 2 disks means U have two 250GB hard drives or 1HD + 1HD = 250GB da?

Thats lots of partitions man.

 

[vnc]

250 GB2 HDDS = 500 GB
They are 50 GBx10

hard Drive

How many partitions do you have on your hard drive(s)?

If you create only one partition on your hard drive, what you do have against creating multiple partitions, and wise versa.

Ediot you can Create eny partitions Encorde to your hdd Capacity use partition Magic software or you dot have it i can give it to you

If i have that much 250GB eakak one partition ekak widiyata thiyenawa

 

[prasadana2]

my partions

i have a 200gb hdd & i have 8 partions 25 gb each

Machan ithin 25 GB partition ekakin what can we do.

hey i got a 160GB hard drive today... bt after i partition it, it says i have only 130GB... is this normal or wat???

Ya it normal. 250GB unata 230GB thiyene.

What on earth are you talking about? Anyway, partition magic is a pile crap.

130GB is not right. It should be about 148-152GB depending on the manufacturer.
