5 reasons you don't have to partition your drive anymore
Most users can let their operating system handle things from now on.

PC storage drives used to be pretty expensive if you wanted higher capacities, and the same was true for SSDs when they first came out. Over time, the price per GB of storage leveled out, so that both HDDs and SSDs are roughly the same price for up to 1TB of storage, which is the average amount in laptops or prebuilt PCs. Those lower prices mean you can have more storage drives in your PC relatively easily, as long as you have physical space and a free port to plug them in to, but it wasn't always like that.
