Which is better more partitions or less?
I think more partitions are better for good perfomance.. If you have less partitions then files will scatter & causes for fragmentation.It also depends on how much size we are allocating.
Difference between primary and extended partitions?
Primary Partitions are logical areas on Coputer storage devices that have direct reference in Master Boot Record. (Due to limitation imposed by MBR only four primary partitions can be created). While Extended partitions refer to logical areas created out of need for more than four Partitions.
How many total partitions can a standard computer computer disk ide and sata?
Due to limitations imposed by DOS back in the '80s, ATA (the proper name for ide) and SATA drives can only hold 4 partitions. To work around this, extended partitions were invented. Extended partitions can hold 4 more partitions, any of which can be more extended partitions. Thus the number of partitions is effectively limited by the size of the disk. These limitations aren't imposed by the disk itself, rather the PC architecture. Intel macs, which don't need to maintain compatibility with DOS or old versions of windows use EFI, which allows for 128 primary partitions.
A basic contains 3 logical partitions How many of these partitions can be primary partitions?

Why do Name Brand computers have hidden partitions?
Usually These 'Hidden Partitions Are Backup and Restore Partitions.
How many primary partition can create?
On MBR partitioned hard-drives only 4 primary partition can be created. (Use extended and logical partitions to create more partitions).
How much do office partitions usually cost to buy?
Office partitions are a cheap way of dividing up a large room so that more people can work there or so that more than one meeting can be held at once. The price starts from about $100 for a single six foot high partition and rises if the partitions are to come in large folding sections or with other more complicated fittings.
Why might you use the Extend Disk Partition option?
Typically you can only have 4 primary partitions per hard drive if you are using the MBR partition layout scheme. If you need more partitions than the maximum allowed (4), then there is a way to get many more partitions with only one hard drive.By creating an extended partition you can have as many logical partitions as you need within that extended partition, thus you can have more than only four partitions. You can have 3 primary partitions and one extended partition (for a total of 4), and inside the extended partition you can have as many logical partitions as you need.The one thing to keep in mind is that any type of Windows Operating System needs to be installed in a primary partition, otherwise you cannot boot into it. Windows XP in particular, needs to be installed in the first primary partition. For everything else, you can create as many logical partitions as you want inside the extended partition.
How many partitions does SCSI support?
SCSI does not care about partitions. This is only the protocol used to interface with the harddisk. There is probably a practical limit to the possible number of partitions on your SCSI drive. This is limited by its size mostly. Normal limitations on partitions is something like 3 Primary partitions and one extended of which can contain more logical partitions. However not being 100% sure about limitations I find it logical to be about 127 or 255. In any case more than what is practical for most uses. It is greatly dependent upon which operatingsystem you use. A partition is only controlled via software or even software in hardware. Designing software for it, and you can easily have thousands of "partitions". it is like having a book. If you write the book yourselves, you decide how many chapters this book will consist of. You decide the size of each chapter.
Which of following storage devices can be divided into partitions that can have one or more volume?
flash drive
How many partitions can a small computer system interface support?
It depends if you are using a basic disk or dynamic disk( you can go to your drive and convert it from basic to dynamic but if you go from dynamic to basic it will destroy all data you have on it) dynamic disk can have more partitions although with dynamic it calls partitions volumes
