First of all, we need to understand the internal structure of a hard drive. The inside of a hard drive is made up of multiple circular platters that are rotated to read data. Since HDDs are relatively slow to read and write, they can better manage data and improve the speed of the system after partitioning. That's why we often recommend partitioning hard drives in older computers.
However, with the advancement of technology, the advent of SSDs has completely changed this situation. SSDs have a completely different structure from mechanical disks, and they use flash memory chips as the storage medium, which has very fast read and write speeds. Therefore, from the perspective of improving the speed of the system, partitioning is no longer a necessary technical means. This is also the reason why in the era of SSDs, we no longer need partitions.
However, although partitions are no longer needed in the SSD era to speed up the system, partitions still have their value. After separating the system disk from the data disk, once the system crashes or fails, we can reinstall the system separately without affecting the data of other disks. Therefore, in the era of SSDs, the benefit of partitioning is to keep your data safe.
In addition, partitioning helps to better manage and organize data. By putting different data types in different partitions, we can find and manage data more conveniently. At the same time, different partitions can also be set with different permissions and access controls to better protect the security and privacy of data.
In short, although partitions are no longer needed in the SSD era to speed up the system, partitions still have their value. Not only does it keep your data safe, but it also allows for better management and organization of your data. Therefore, when choosing whether or not to partition an SSD, you need to make a decision based on your actual needs and situation.
