Of course it is relevent. Take for instance my setup. I have a DELL server
with a dual channel RAID controller. On one channel I have 2x36GB SCSI HDD
RAID1(Mirror) with only my OS (C: drive) installed on it. My other channel I
have 7x73GB SCSI HDD RAID 5 with one hot spare. No if my OS drives go out
I'm still online because of my mirrored set. If both go out (hardly likely)
then all I need to recover is my OS C: drive because my D: drive is totally
seperate. And visa versa. Id my D: drive crashes (again hardly likely
because of my RAID 5 Array and my hot spare) then my system is still up and
running and I can restore my data and still be online.
With just a single drive if it goes bad all goes bad. Single or multiple
partitions.

let us say you have just one large disk
probably it sits on a raid but the operating sytsems see it as one
disk to be partitioned however
how would total size affect you decision? and scsi or sata is that
relevant to partition choice?

hello
what do you recommend to be best practice for partitioning disks?
some say split into a C: for your system files and D: for you data
others like to put everything on C:
some like more complicated partition schemes with more seperate
partitions for page file or user settings
what do you think?
if so, what sizes are good for now and for the future?
all one partition sounds easiest but is there a drawbacks?
thank you
