Long question
Set-up:
Late 2010 iMac 27" i7, running 10.6.8, Mavericks also installed but never used.
Three existing hard drives-divided into multiple partitions;
A) 2Tb internal with Boot partition with Apps, Mavericks partition, a large iTunes partition, Raw video partition and a "overhead" ie junk file.
B) 2Tb external with partitions for cloned back-ups of Boot drives, iTunes, video, and photos
C) A WD 4Tb drive with archive of compressed copies of video files and photos
- (this is a USB 2 drive, and I feel it is slowing everything down - will become off-line storage)
And now a brand new external 4Tb G-Tech drive (firewire) - thinking/planning to partition half for iTunes, the other half for misc files and scratch disk.
I try to carefully estimate the space required for each, but they are either full or there is a percentage of space left un-used/un-useable on each partition. Re-partitioning is a pain!
Finally, my question
I'm wondering if I should remove some partitions & rely on folders to organize everything, this would permit better use of all available space.
Any comments would be appreciated
