Should I partition my HD?

[altar]

Hi all,
I just received a new pc that I want to use for editing with Vegas.
Should I partition my 1TB hard drive?
How do you work?
Thanks

Why would you? It won't gain you anything.

What you want are physically separate drives.

Oh ok
more spending then...
Thanks

Plenty of people do just fine with Vegas on a single-drive computer. But if you can upgrade cheaply and easily, it doesn't seem a bad idea - if nothing else, it'll stop your 1TB filling up so fast.

Well, right. Ideally you should have separate drives, but you can get by with one. At least until you have some serious work to do.

I just meant a partitioned single drive isn't the same as having separate physical drives. It's pretty much like simply using a single drive.

Good advice,especially since hd's are selling for so cheap now its a win win to buy extra.
