| I decided to make a thread on computer storage in general where you can talk about how you manage your computer(s) storage. Figured it might be interesting to know what you do for your setups. Current config: 1TB Western Digital Blue HDD - C:/ Windows 7 (OS + Documents) - D:/ Games (Steam, Emulators, etc.) - E:/ Softwares - F:/ Downloads - Debian with KDE 5 (unstable and mostly empty because I can't Linux, I need to replace it with another distro) - Linux Swap (8 GB, maybe a bit too much?) 240GB Western Digital Green SSD - Currently empty I've always had a habit of partitioning my HDD into two drives for convenience's sake, but when I got this 1TB one I made a lot more partitions. I actually install all softwares on E: instead of C:, makes it easier to distinguish between stuff that comes with Windows and stuff that doesn't. Some softwares don't really like it though, like Thunderbird who can't update itself unless I run it as administrator (I believe this isn't an issue if you install it on C: instead, or if you disable User Account Control). ![]() Now, I have a free copy of Windows 10 Pro thanks to my college, so I was thinking about installing it to try it out (and maybe later on move most of my stuff to it). I don't plan on replacing my Windows 7 installation anytime soon, but 7 only has a year of support left and after that it's probably going to suffer the same fate as XP. I better at least have the ability to switch between both of them. That said I'm not sure what I should do with my new SSD yet. Should I: 1: Put Windows 10 Pro on the SSD. Use it for the OS, for personal documents and for swap memory; 2: Same as above, except let's not put swap memory there; or 3: Move Windows 7 to the SSD and install 10 on the HDD. Or maybe you guys have some other recommendation? |


A friggin' mess. Network drive in this shot is an attached Raspberry Pi4, 4GB, running Recalbox that I've only started working on...so it still has a good amount of space on it.
