Partition alignment tool

systemcrash · 18. Mar 2011, 07:14 PM

I always partition my computers, and sometimes other drives its simple to do but i never used a Partition alignment tool.

I always use partition tools from a booted CD and none of the CD's had Partition alignment tool and it wasn't until recently i found out about them. Are they worth having? I tend to make my partition software portable because i don't often partition my drives once there done i leave them, so i would do the same for the Partition alignment tool im just wondering

Is it worth it? or just something unnecessary?

It might be worthwhile if you have a SSD. Otherwise, I don't think it's worth the risk.
