The Benefit Of Creating Multiple Partitions In Windows
With current drive technology, you are unlikely to notice any increase in performance by creating multiple partitions on the drive. One real benefit of doing this is that it decreases the amount of time that ScanDisk and Defrag take to complete. Also, if you store data on a secondary partition and for some reason need to reformat the system partition, you can do so leaving your data files on the secondary partition intact.
