Partitioning Question

[Michigan PC]

Alright so this applies to my new m1330 laptop. It has a 160gb 7200rpm hdd. I want to load it up with about 40gb of video and 10gb of music.

Will having this amount of media cause adverse performance in any way? Would it beneift me at all to have a 60gb "Media" partition where all of this can go?

thanks

Not that you'd really notice.

It's never made any difference for me.

The only reason I would partition the OS and programs, is because it makes it easier to reimage and install these items when those "Oh Shit" things happen.

I seem to have those circumstances quite often!

in the day it might have mattered. but now days things the speeds on data have increased so much you will never notice the difference.
