    New MBP- Too partition or not to Partition!

    Posted by Zack Hill on March 7, 2008 at 8:14 pm

    Hello,
    I thought I posted this yesterday, but my post was nowhere to be found.
    MY question:

    I just purchased a new MBP and I am going to be editing on it as a secondary machine:
    Do I make a new partition for my scratch disks?
    Or do I lump everything onto the 200g drive that is installed.

    On my work machine, I run apps and OS on one disk, and media on the other.

    Anyone have any advice?
    I have never worked with partitions.

    cheers,
    zack

    Neither. Get an external drive and use it for your media. Using the internal drive is just not a good idea.
