Hi, I don’t use PS or Illustrator myself but I am changing the partitions on a users XP PC as he has been complaining of performance issues.
I’ve read quite a bit on partitioning for PS and Illustrator so think I’ve got it fairly covered but would like some thoughts on the following config:
(we have bought a new 18gb/ 15k rpm SCSI and he had a 80gb/ 702 rpm IDE HD already present which is being wiped + 1gb RAM)
SCSI drive = HDD0
IDE drive = HDD1
HDD0:
C: (9gb) – OS
D: (50mb) – emergency pagefile
E: (4gb) – program files such as MS Office/ FTP
F: (remainder) – Data 1
HDD1
G:(2gb)- Adobe and Illustrator prgrm files
H:(4gb) – Pagefile partition
R:(64gb) – Data 2
S:(10gb) – scratch disk
Or, should I consider almost swapping it around and have the scratch and pagefile only on the faster (in terms of seek time) scsi drive with program files and data on the slower IDE drive? Or neglible difference?
TIA
