Will Partitioning My SSD Affect Windows Booting or Gaming Performance?

Hey everyone! I recently picked up a Samsung 9100 Pro 4TB SSD on sale, and I'm planning to use it as my sole drive in my new build. I'm wondering, if I create two partitionsโ€”one for Windows and user data, and the other for games, programs, and recorded clipsโ€”will that negatively impact performance or speed? Specifically, I'm concerned if one partition will slow down the other or if there are any diminishing returns. Thanks for your insights!

Nope, it wonโ€™t make a difference for performance. The speed of your drive isn't really a factor for gaming or booting the OS. You should be good either way!
