Hi everyone.
What is the difference between the OS (C:) vs DATA (D:) drives on a laptop. Are they for different things? Can D not be used for games and things like C? Why is D so much larger?
In: Technology
It is just tradition.
If your computer has a C: and a D: drive you usually use a small fast drive for the OS as C: and a larger slower one for the data.
Even if you just have one physical drive, it might make sense to partition it up into a drive for the OS and one for data so that the data drive ending up full due for some reason doesn’t stop the OS from working.
