[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 946889, member: 51905"] SSD: doesn't matter. I put most softwares on D drive and Windows+some essential apps on C drive. The speed is the same until the drive is almost full I overprovision 5% of the SDD to prolong its life (7-10% is recommended but I only have 250GB, no secondary drive) HDD: The speed is maximum on the first 15-20% of the drive. Then, it will gradually decrease. Therefore, I usually partition ~40-50GB for windows, MS office, AV, apps running on boot, the rest to 20% for apps that need speed (browsers, photoshop,...). 80% left is used to stored data and other stuffs use HDtune to find your fastest area of the drive and cut it out [/QUOTE]
