I use DualBoot Ubuntu and Windows with SSD and HDD. Windows 10 have: C partition (SSD, NTFS) + Recovery & EFI partition (SSD) and D partition (HDD, NTFS) for data used in Windows and transfer them to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 16.04 have: /root (SSD), /home (SSD) for frequently used documents and /swap (HDD).

I would like create another "partition" on HDD accessible only within Ubuntu for store important documents to prevent data loss and higher level of reliability compared to SSD. Can someone provide me details about that? Note that I already have unallocated space on HDD.

  • After you create partition with gparted, you will want to mount in fstab so always mounted. see: askubuntu.com/questions/1013677/…
