I’m building a custom WinXP PC for Photoshop CS with 1G of ram and two 80G hds C and D. The two hds will be used for PS as well as for other applications. My PS editing typically begins with a ~120MB scanned file. Here are some partitioning options I’m considering and would appreciate your comments:
1. C unpartitioned, PS on C. D unpartitioned, PS image files and PS scratch disk space on D.
2. C unpartitioned, PS and PS image files on C. D unpartitioned, PS scratch disk space on D.
3. C unpartitioned, PS and PS image files on C. D partitioned into D (75G) and E (5G), PS scratch disk space on E.
Katrin Eismann’s "PS Restoration and Retouching" (great book) recommends something like option 3. The idea is to keep the E partition from being fragmented for a better PS scratch disk space performance. Is there any merit to this?
