One ssd just for OSX Question

[Rangaroo]

Hello All,


Quick Question:

Many blogs and threads are suggesting to use one ssd just for OSX and another for storage. The general consensus is that it is easier to install and it gives you a faster boot time. However to do this it requires you to create a single partition for the OSX.

Will this render the drive useless for storage? I don't want to use a 120GB drive for just essentially 8GBs of OS. Does this make sense? Won't the one partiton section off the whole drive?

Thanks

If you have a 120G SSD, I think it makes more sense to put not only the OS but applications and as much data as possible on it, and use hard drives for larger data sets (music and video files, for example) and Time Machine backups. Creating a single partition on the SSD for OSX doesn't prevent you from storing data on it.
