The Benefits of Disk Partitions

There are many advantages to do disk partitions:

1. Separation of the operating system (OS) and program files from user files. This allows image backups (or clones) to be made of only the operating system and installed software.

2. Having cache and log files separate from other files. These can change size dynamically and rapidly, potentially making a file system full.

3. Use of multi-boot setups, which allow users to have more than one operating system on a single computer. For example, one could install Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows or others on different partitions of the same hard disk and have a choice of booting into any compatible operating system at power-up.

4. Raising overall computer performance on systems where smaller file systems are more efficient. For instance, large hard drives with only one NTFS file system typically have a very large sequentially accessed Master File Table (MFT) and it generally takes more time to read this MFT than the smaller MFTs of smaller partitions.
