How should I partition MBP w/8TB of SSD
I've ordered a new 16" MacBook Pro (MBP) with the Max chip and 8TB of internal SSD drive space. I intend to primarily use this MBP for video editing with Final Cut Pro (FCP).
I've always used FCP with the OS and FCP on the internal (Macintosh HD) of whatever Mac I was editing with, and had the FCP Libraries I'm editing on an external RAID array. I was told to do it this way for maximum speed.
I've never had a Mac with a Macintosh HD larger than 1TB, but now I'll have 8TB. I presume I could treat all 8TB as one drive (the Macintosh HD), but I suspect that would not be wise. I'm guessing I should make around 1TB the Macintosh HD and the other 7TB a separate partition and put my FCP Libraries on those 7TB. However, I don't really know much of anything about partitioning or how one would normally use this much internal SSD space. I guess that maybe when I turn the MBP on and look in Disk Utility I will see something like 4 2TB drives or maybe 2 4TB drives?
Can someone tell me in basic terms what the best course of action is as far as using the 8TB of internal drive space (given that I will be editing video in FCP)?
