? In general, the hard disk of the new computer will be divided into two partitions, C and D. This is the practice of the installer in order to save time, but obviously this is not suitable for our daily work. Needed, and the current mainstream configuration of the hard disk is 500GB or 1TB of large hard disk, how to use only two partitions! Therefore, the reasonable partition of the hard disk is very necessary. This article is based on Win7 and 1TB hard disk as an example, recommend several sets of large hard disk partitioning scheme for everyone.
Buy a large hard disk installed Win7 Editor recommended the best partitioning scheme
System disk“I” good everyone can be good
as a system disk, its importance is self-evident. Only the system disk has enough space to ensure the stable operation of the system, in order to give full play to the overall performance of the computer. By default, Win7 system files take up about 8GB (as shown in the figure), which mainly includes system files, page files (the space occupied is about 1.5 times the memory) and hibernation files (the occupied space is equal to the memory). . Coupled with the space required for cache files, temporary files, etc., Microsoft conservatively recommends that the partition size for installing Win7 be 15GB. However, we recommend that you divide the system disk into 50GB.
Recommended division: 50GB
Division reason: Remove 8GB of space occupied by the system, some cache files and some files of some installation software should also be installed in the system disk (we do not recommend to install the program on the system disk, please refer to the details) The program disk is divided into instructions), so that 15GB of space can only be said to be enough. However, if you want to improve the performance of the system, the system disk must have enough space to store the temporary files released when installing or running some software, as well as the swap space necessary for disk sorting. And not just the system disk, the space usage of any disk should not exceed 80%, so that the disk can run better. Therefore, we recommend that you divide the system disk as much space as possible.
Tip: When we install the Windows 7 system to create the primary partition, a system partition of 100MB size will be generated. It is the BitLocker partitioned encrypted information store for Windows 7. The 100MB space is like a 1TB hard drive, plus its own role, so Master Dong suggested that you keep the partition.
Program disk application installation separately
As mentioned above, we do not recommend that you install the program in the system disk, otherwise the system disk will need more space. Of course, if you think that it is installed on the system disk, it is more convenient to use Ghost backup. But by contrast, the program is better installed separately. This is because the program disk is the most frequently read and write operation, which means that it is the most vulnerable to disk fragmentation. If it is integrated with the system disk, it may affect the stability of the system. In addition, the software installation, uninstallation and upgrade are also very frequent, after Ghost, you need to upgrade or re-install, so the significance is not great.
Recommended division: 100GB
Division reason: With the arrival of the era of large hard drives, the size of many software is getting bigger and bigger. It takes a lot of space to occupy 2GB~3GB after installation, such as the client of World of Warcraft. After installation, it takes up more than 10GB of space. So, please consider your personal situation settings for this disk. We recommend that the program disk be divided into 100GB space, and can also be divided according to individual circumstances and actual needs. For details, please refer to the final scheme list.
The file tray is not much more than enough.
In the daily application of the computer, there will always be some personal documents to be saved. Although these documents are not many, they will not take up a lot of disk space, but It is also necessary to separate them into a single disk for storage and classification, which is also more conducive to our management.
Recommended division: 50GB
Reasons for division: Our personal documents, mainly family photos, videos, work documents, etc. Relatively speaking, the space occupied by these files is much smaller. And some important documents, we suggest that you can save by burning the disc to avoid permanent loss of data caused by hard drive damage. Therefore, this disk can be freely adjusted according to individual circumstances. However, since it is a large 1TB hard drive, 50GB of space will not be wasted.
Tip: In Win7, the file library has provided us with basic classifications, such as videos, pictures, documents and music, but these folders are in the system disk directory, once the system crashes and cannot be recovered, the loss is not It goes without saying. Therefore, we recommend that you save the important files separately. If you need quick access, just create a new library in the file library.
There are many requirements for entertainment discs, so the capacity is large.
I believe that the current home computers are more entertainment-oriented. For example, store some high-definition movies and watch them slowly; some game clients are also necessary to save after downloading, in preparation for future re-installation; listening to music is absolutely lossless APE format. Therefore, the file characteristics of the entertainment disk are basically —— big!
Recommended division: the remaining space minus 50GB
The reason for the division: entertainment disk, mainly storage and backup files, the file size is generally large. However, the file is not frequently read and written, so it is not necessary to defragment the disk for a long time. Therefore, it is reasonable to use the entertainment disk as the largest partition among the disk partitions.
The download disk is not too big or small. Just now
The Internet era, if you use computers to chat and browse the web, the most frequently done things, I am afraid that the download is none other than the download described above. Game client, etc.
Recommended division: the remaining 50GB
Division reason: As the title says, it is not too big or too small. The reason why the download disk is divided separately is because this partition is the most frequently read and written area of the disk, so it is very necessary to do the defragmentation often. If the partition is too large, the disk finishing speed will be reduced; if it is too small, the file downloading will not be satisfied. So 50GB of space can be said to be just right.
Tip: After installing some download programs, remember to change the default download path to the download disk, otherwise you will lose the meaning of separate division.
The final recommendation scheme list
The above division scheme uses a 1TB hard disk as an example, and other capacity hard disks can be scaled. In addition, the actual needs of each person are different, and everyone can adjust this based on this division plan to meet their own requirements. However, we recommend that you divide up to 5 partitions. Too many partitions are not conducive to management and disk maintenance. In addition, using Win7's own disk management tools, you can do a good job of partition adjustment, formatting, etc., without the need for third-party software, due to space limitations we will not make more explanations, you can try it yourself. You can also use Master Lu to view the details of the hard drive.
