Hello ! I am actually running a dual boot with Windows and Arch. I have 5 disks (3 HDD and 2 nvme SSD) with this partitioning. These are the drives : HDDs :

  • WD Blue 2 TB hdd (5400 RPM)
  • WD Blue 1TB hdd (7200 RPM)
  • Seagate Barracuda 2TB hdd (7200 RPM) SSDs :
  • Samsung 870 evo 512GB
  • Kingston A1000 256GB

And this is the partition scheme that I used so far

  • Windows
    • 512 GB SSD => NTFS for the OS
    • 2 TB HDD (Seagate one) => NTFS for games
    • 1TB out of the other 2 TB (Wd blue) drive (Backups) NTFS
  • Linux
    • 256 GB SSD => ext4 for the OS
    • 1 TB HDD => ext4 for data and games
    • 1TB out of the other 2 TB drive (Backups) ext4

Some problems that I encounter are disk space problems on the Linux SSD because sometimesvI want to install demanding games on it.

Do you have any advice on what I can do to make this scheme better?

Thank you in advance.

I’d probably give Windows and Linux half that 256GB drive each, format the rest as NTFS and use them as data drives for both.
