Why partitioning of Mac disk is necessary

Today, most of the computer users save their work ,both professional and personal,at their machine.It adds value to their system and signifies the process of managing and maintaining computer hard drive in good health.

Partitioning of hard drives means to divide the hard disk into many volumes. Partitioning makes the OS to treat every volume differently as an individual drive.Some users will choose to partition their drives by Disk utility-an inbuilt application of Mac while most of the user will prefer third party tools for easy,fast,and secure management of their partitions.

But, why we need to partition our drive?

One of the main objectives of creating partitions on hard drive is to separate user files from system files. By this, during reinstallation of operating system, files necessary to host will be in single drive and without any interference from user files .

If you need to create multiboot system on your desk you should definitely go for partition manager.

Multiboot system means having multiple operating systems (like Linux,MacOSX,Windows etc) on a single machine.

Multiboot system itself has so many advantages and some few vital ones are:

• If one of the Partitions is corrupted then it does not affect data stored on other partitions.
• Integrity and privacy is maintained. It can be explained through an example where single system is accessed by multiple user through different login account and there is no interference in their personal data.
• Frequently used files are kept together which reduces the time consumption in searching in whole drive.

The Mac partition manager I have ever used possesses features like Create,delete,format,resize and hide&reveal a selected volume in my Mac. The basic operations on Mac partitions can be done through disk utility. But in some circumstances it fails to perform required tasks. In such cases , one needs to opt for some advanced partition manager software like Stellar partition manager.The best feature I found in it, is its automatic shifting of free space to bring them together.
