Expanded Knowledge - What are the purposes for partitioning

We can conclude the purposes of partitioning as the following:

• Keep operating system files, frequently used programs, and user data near each other.
• Have an area for Operating System virtual memory swapping/paging.
• Have cache and log files separate from other files.
• Use of multi-booting setups, which allow users to have more than one. For instance, one could install Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, or others on different partitions of the same hard disk.
• Protect or isolate files, to make it easier to recover data from corrupted partitions. Other file systems won't be affected and the drive's data may still be salvageable if one of the partitions is corrupted.
• Raise overall computer performance on systems with smaller partitions is more efficient.
• Connect the device - external hard drive, USB, or SD card on which you lost partition to your PC in advance.
