First build using an SSD instead of a mechanical HDD. Drive is a Samsung 830 256GB SSD as the OS and programs drive. Is there any benefit to partition the drive for each of the above and if so how large should the OS partition be? OS will be Win 7 HP 64-bit. I'll have a WD Caviar Black 500GB 7200 RPM 64MB cache HDD for all data, media and other programs.
I plan on installing programs like Photoshop, Pinnacle Studio (video editing), MS Office 2010, iTunes and Google Earth on the SSD drive as they all seem to be slow loading programs on my current Win XP Q6600 Quad Core system. Not too concerned with filling up the SSD as my entire system now only uses 98GB of a 320GB HDD.
Am I approaching this transition in the correct way?
TIA for responses.
