Hello ! I am actually running a dual boot with Windows and Arch. I have 5 disks (3 HDD and 2 nvme SSD) with this partitioning. These are the drives : HDDs :
- WD Blue 2 TB hdd (5400 RPM)
- WD Blue 1TB hdd (7200 RPM)
- Seagate Barracuda 2TB hdd (7200 RPM) SSDs :
- Samsung 870 evo 512GB
- Kingston A1000 256GB
And this is the partition scheme that I used so far
- Windows
- 512 GB SSD => NTFS for the OS
- 2 TB HDD (Seagate one) => NTFS for games
- 1TB out of the other 2 TB (Wd blue) drive (Backups) NTFS
- Linux
- 256 GB SSD => ext4 for the OS
- 1 TB HDD => ext4 for data and games
- 1TB out of the other 2 TB drive (Backups) ext4
Some problems that I encounter are disk space problems on the Linux SSD because sometimesvI want to install demanding games on it.
Do you have any advice on what I can do to make this scheme better?
Thank you in advance.
@CarlosCheddar @Written2323 Important, if you share partitions with win und linux: disable fast boot on Windows or else Linux won’t be able to access that partition.
This worked for me until recently. Since a windows update my drive has been completely locked despite disabled fast boot. I am currently struggling to find solutions to unlock it again but nothing works…
