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 had a lot of problems with proton and NTFS drives recently (slowness and games that would not launch)
