yes

Posted August 25, 2015

Should I "partition" my Intel 750 series 1.2TB to 1TB (applications) and 200GB (OS)?

For additional storage I'll have a 4TB Western Digital Black.

Any opinions? Thanks

I'd recommend Minitool Partition Wizard on Windows and gparted on Linux by the way.

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.
