NVME partition, loss of speed and life span.

[ztplru]

Hi guys,

Does partitioning an NVME with extra D:\ partition cause loss of speed and life span?

On google the answers were not straight to the point.

I am worried mostly about loss of speed! Someone mentioned the D: partition will be in essence a virtual drive, thus the loss of speed.
Can you please confirm if the speed loss is significant?

If the life span decrease is also significant then i guess it's better not to use any extra partition other than the Healthy (EFI System Partition) and Healthy (Recovery Partition).

Please let me know.

There is no major loss that I'm aware of.
