Need partitioning advice
Before I install my applications and other stuff, I would like some advice about partitioning. Is it necessary, is it recommended, does it improve performance or security? What is the best partitioning strategy for Mac? I heard that Mac drives don't need partitioning. Should I install applications on a separate partition?
This is what I intend to do:
200 GB primary partition for OS and applications
400 GB for data
150 GB for Photoshop Scratch Disk
Any ideas?
