Subject: Re: [G] How many partisions?
In summery it looks like I should keep the three partitions unless the
scratch disk for Photoshop is not necessary. In that case then just
two.
A separate scratch disk/volume/partition is not strictly necessary. It
guarantees that Photoshop has all the space it needs whenever it needs
it. Plus it means more efficient use of the computer. In OS 9 and
before, there was greater potential for fragmentation of files when not
using a dedicated scratch volume, meaning the hard drive's head worked
harder. With OS X, I suspect not having a dedicated scratch volume
would require OS X to do more file management which seems to me to
translate into more head movement. And without a dedicated volume,
you'd have to watch your free space more carefully.
