If you have a hard drive that has Two partitions
One partition has a lot of free space,
The other partition is close to completely empty:
Will the performance on partition 1 suffer because of the low space on partition 2?
The OS is on Partition 1.
>1 with free space
>1 empty
did you mean "full"?

no? it's still the same drive, only if you fill it all up, then it will suffer to write fast
>>58766062
>no?
"NO" ITS NOT A QUESTION, LEARN ENGLISH YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT, I SINCERELY WISH YOU TO LOSE YOUR HANDS AND EYES IN SOME ACCIDENT, FUCK YOU, DIE
Random access times could differ
maybe it's even faster (if you're only using one partition actively)

do you even know where you are?

The answer is yes it will suffer because your hard drive only has one arm to move the reading heads. So if it's doing a lot of work on partition 2, it will have less free time to access partition 1. This won't necessarily happen just because the drive is full though.

No

He clearly asked about partition 1
Not about both at the same time

I explained that how the second partition could nake access to the first one slower. If you don't use the second partition then obviously it has no effect.
i have a multi-boot hard drive with linux, dos and windows xp. if i fill my kettle to the top with water, will my car slow down my phones 4g download speed while using wifi?

But that's because your kettle has no interaction with you phone. Both partitions share a resource.
