Hard drive partitioning question
Hi I have my os on a ssd drive. (intel 60GB)
I am installing a 1 tb WD Black drive and a Seagate 500gb drive. (both were under wartrantee) My initial plan was to just keep the os on the ssd drive and use the saegate 500gb to install my programs, and the WD 1 TB to backup.
I have the option of partitioning the WD drive now (the seagate is on the way) I was thinking of setting aside a swap file on this drive, as it's supposed to be a little faster. Currently I have 8 GB memory. My main use is for working with Phototshop and video.
I've heard different things regarding how much to allocate. Your suggestions would greatly be appreciated, and how would I designate this partition to have windows recognize this partition as a swap file.
Thanks in advance!
