Default is my C drive dying?

Agree with the other replies.

FWIW...
For a typical user, the best setup is a fast SSD for your
primary drive and a huge conventional HDD for your secondary
drive. Forget about partitions, just make folders on the HDD
and put your clones of the SSD there. Currently I am using 32
GB on drive C, the clones are about 11 GB each.


For a typical user _of a desktop machine_ (or those rare laptops that
can take more than one drive), yes. For the rest of us, we can't forget
about partitions. (At least, the advantages of having a small
OS-plus-software one, for ease/frequency of image-making, make
partitioning a wise choice.)
