This is a dedicated HTPC with an SSD for the OS, MePo and plugins, and a few utilities, so it starts up, and resumes from S3 standby as quickly as possible. It also has a mechanical HDD for recordings and media files because I can't afford a 2GB SSD.  This left a lot of unused space on the SSD so I thought I may as well use it for time-shifting, and as I said, the bigger the space to write the buffer, the longer the disk will last.  The time-shift buffer itself isn't configured to be that large - about 60 minutes of HD content.It's not necessary to create 2 partitions, of course.  I did because I have always kept the time-shift buffer on a separate partition for some reason that I now can't recall (basically, it's become a tradition, or an old charter, or something).</blockquote>
