We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Partition? (alien.top)

Is it worth partitioning M.2 drive with 1TB storage?

I'm buying a new computer, on the old one 8 years ago I had the HDD divided into two partitions, one for system/programs/music (etc.), the other for games. It helped me with organising and such.

Is it worth doing so in this case? Should I just add a folder for games on the disk where the system is located (and if everything is put on one disk (games, system, movies), will it run as fast as it should and won't it slow it all down?)

I also have 2.5 SSD (also 1 TB) drive, but it's probably not important now, and I don't intend to do partition it or anything.

Lastly I've heard partitioning is not worth it anymore so I'm really confused right now
