Partitions. With the typical HD's, I'd partition them seperating my os/programs and data files for two reasons 1) performance, the first partion, on the outter surface of the platter(s) are faster and I want my exe's there. 2) backups, my state info and other files are in the second partition, with my OS and non-state info on the first partition. That makes backups/restores of my OS smaller.
Now we've got these nifty new SSD's. The first point no longer applies since it's random access. But it would be nice to still have the separation of os/progs and data if for at least backups & organization However my question is: Will it be slower then a singly partitioned ssd? I've heard about in-drive raiding, and think I see that with larger drives, of the same family, having faster write/read times for the higher capacity ones. if that's the case, how are they spreading data I wonder? If I partition a 60GB drive, 30/30, will only half of the readers read? With I get 1/2 performance?
How do multiple partitions effect SSD performance?
I greatly appreciate any feedback,
Paul
P.S. I'm not taking about partition alignment, which is related to 4k clusters.
