hd thoughts

I have just built my first pc and have windows 11 on a 1tb m.2, my question is if i partition the drive so boot drive has say 250gb space what can i use the rest for, i have a separate 2tb drive for games, i worry that if i put games on the 1tb drive it might slow down windows as its on the same drive but want to separate the 1tb drive to partitions before i install too much stuff on windows but cannot really think of what else i can put on the games but games but it seems a waste to have 1tb drive empty except for windows on it maybe taking up 100gb to 200gb.

make it one big partition
when windows installs it will make small boot and security partitions

SSDs don't require partitioning for performance. it s often done for organizational clarity .

on a modern NVMe drive I would not worry it can handle 2 partitions without any bandwidth problem. You could have a 250Gb c: and have the remaining d: as well as your dedicated game drive, and use it for those huge games as that may benefit the faster bandwidth.

But yea good point I have not partitioned a c: nvme no matter what size lol

fun fact kids.....windows is still extended 32bit and can NOT read or write faster 1100MB a second(the OS itself, it can execute other programs at faster speeds) .....if both the 1tb and 2tb are gen 4's i would find a cheap pair of sata drives to run RAID 1 as the 2 would put you right at 1100mb a second windows can use......or find a left over 250gb gen 3 M.2 if you have the open slots on the motherboard......

as for gaming.....having the OS and the games on the same driver regardless of partitions causes a slow down in over all read or write times on said drive.....I/O requests to keep the OS up and running will always be in the back round

its does not matter what others say....they still wont admit they are running x86 CPU's that can execute 64 bit coding

32bits has nothing to do with drive speed

sata raid speeds are limited by the raid controller, not just the drives

the cpus have 64bit processing, they support the extended 32bit instructions
when preforming 32bit instructions and memory stores, the first 32bits are all zeros

32bit cpus have a max of 4g ram, how can x32 cpu/hardware access more ram?

i would agree with this

unless you have some reason to need it

there really is no reason to to do it

thanks for the replies, i just wondered if i partitioned the boot drive and kept the windows partition about 200-300gb it might be easier to backup that partition rather than having to pinpoint which folders to backup in a disorganized drive with windows and games and other files on.

just make a games folder on it, install/copy steam there, and make a library for games on another drive
most games dont mind being on a hdd, for the games you want fast load times put them in a ssd or the boot drive
