You Consider that: the larger the partition, the bigger the cluster!

By partitioning a large disk you reduce the cluster size, thus for a 182 bytes
shortcut to NotePad, the file would use a smaller amt of space, since a 1 byte or 32000  bytes file will use the same amt of clusters(1 in this case). That's an awful lot of wasted space when you start adding it up, no?.

Inconsequential nowadays, when in comparison to $145.00 for a 2.1 Gig HDD in '98
& $45.00 for a 15 Gig today, eh?

Guess you don't have to partition; waste makes haste!<g> MHO & logical observation.
