Hi,
I just got a new external SSD (Transcent ESD310S) which is 1Tb large.
I would like create several partitions on that key for different usages : one Ext4 for Linux storage, may be one NTFS for Windows, or one FAT32 for both Win & Android, and of course also use the key with Ventoy, so 2 more partitions (FAT16 and exFAT ?).
What is the best way to achieve that ? Start with installing Ventoy as for any USB key, then use GParted to resize the exFAT partition and create the additional partitions I want ?
Or is there another way ? (note I have already a USB key with Ventoy installed and configured, so I can copy partitions content if required).
Thank you for your recommandations.
