[MacDV] Re: Formatting my hard drive

[Eric Phillips]

I think the more important thing here when dealing with video is not
having you video media fragmented. Not having the OS and apps fragmented
might make things run a little faster but highly fragmented video media
can cause your project to go down the tubes. I did the same thing when I
add and internal 120gig drive. I made a small partition to handle all
the high fragmentation stuff like photoshop scratch disk and browser
cache. I then made two larger ones one for video and the other for misc.
stuff. This way I can just reformat the video partition after each
project and it is good to go for the next project.

Personally, i like partitions so that one partition, maybe receiving 
heavy usage during multimedia editing, doesn't fragment my apps and 
OS as an example.
