Why would I want to partition my disk into more than one volume?
You probably only will want to do this if you are using a large disk, e.g. 500GB or more. You may want to organise your sessions so they are separated from each other in separate volumes (or partitions) on the disk. In addition, as the disk volume gets larger it can get slower to navigate around due to the sheer number of files on the volume. Splitting the disk into several smaller volumes can make this easier. There is also some additional protection if the file system gets corrupted. It is rare (but not impossible) for a problem in one volume on a disk to affect others.
