  • Awesome question.

    The operating system, or OS, really does not care about whether it is a hard drive or a solid state drive when moving around the partitions.

    Say your hard drives are pools. One is filled with molasses, and the other has water. The partitions are like the ropes in the pool. Perhaps you have no ropes. Maybe you have three, but two are so close to the wall, and each other, that only a small amount of stuff could occupy those lanes.

    That leaves you with one really large lane. That’s your data partition.

    Water or molasses, the ropes are the same.
