The only thing: a separate partition you only use for video will be less defragmented generally, so the copied files will have less and bigger parts so possibly written somewhat faster then if there are really a lot of small pieces all over the hard drive. So using a dedicated partition might speed it up a little bit (but I don't know if you'll experience a difference in practice).
You won't notice the difference when viewing (it would be strange if you would). And capturing, of course, is done with real-time speed and won't be influenced at all.

Hello, Is it best when Captureing Video or Transfering, to have one straight hard drive or do Partitions degrade the process and effiency?.
