Hi there,
with my latest Intel SSD (SSD320, 600 GB) I made initially 3 partitions (2GB, 50GB, 400GB). The remaining space was 106GB.
Later I partioned the remainig 106GB as the 4th and last primary partition.
After I had partioned the 4th partition I rememberd that some space of the SSD should be left unpartitioned because it's good for live and performance of the SSD.
So I removed the last partiton (106GB) which was not formatted and no data was written to it. Then I made a new last partition with 40GB. 66GB are now unpartitioned.
Is the unpartitoned space used by the SSD? Or is it not used because it has been partitioned first?
Is there a possibility to see if the unpartioned space is used by th SSD (e.g. with Intel SSD Toolbox) ?
Best regards, FireStarter

The recommended OP for Data Center is about 33% and for desktop/laptop is 10 %.
