For me, I don't see the advantage of partitions since I can make a folder to keep things organized.
Did you know that windows cannot see more than ONE partition on a flashdrive? That may also be true with SD card as well.
Flashdrive are very slow in "write" compare to Hdd. Hdd. is 4-5 times faster.
