Is Partitioning a Large Capacity Hard Disk really necessary? Discussion Executed

Articles of your intrest

Large Capacity Hard Disk are very common today and the minimum capacity Hard Disks available today are not less than 300-350 Gbs. But with the capacity increases, do you know that the risk factor also have increased. In which the partition table corruption is among one of the most common Hard Disk problem and no one can say when this may happen to him. So this not only related to the hard disk problem but the worst case is the data loss happened because of the above mentioned cause. So is there any solution available which can manage such an havoc….

To be very clear as far as I know there is not any software/solution which can tell when a Hard Drive is going to crash though there are software which can recover the lost data, but that is very expensive and sometime the recovered data might be corrupt. SO NOW WHAT….

Do you remember the old days when such problems are very rare, Here I am just trying to figure out a solution from those old days when we didn’t have large capacity hard drives and only a single partition and most of us use Two hard disk one for Data and another for the Operating system. The same solution should also be applied today. We should not partition the hard drive. Windows XP/SEVEN’s NTFS file system runs more efficiently on one large partition. The data is no safer on a separate partition, and a reformat is never necessary to reinstall an operating system.

So if we can achieve much better result without a partition being created and our data is also safe then why most of us try to make partition on heavy disk and invest a lot more time for such an risky job.

You all are requested to join the debate whether a large disk should be partitioned or not…so plz make a comment…and share your views
