I am accustomed to make multiple partitions off one physical drive. I just got a 80GB for video. In the old days, smaller partitions runs faster since there are less file to deal with. With all the advanement in PC speed, HD speed, is it's still necessary to do that? The only advantage of creating multiple partitions I can think of is multiple system boot system that each partition houses a system. What is the current thought on this issue?
