Ok, so I have got a 1 TB SSD with enclosure, which means that I can iuse it as an external drive.

Now, I can install an Operating System (Windows, Linux) here, as well as use it as a storage space. For that purpose, I'll be partitioning the whole space into two partitions:

a whole ext4 part (for using a Linux OS)
an exFAT part (for backups of my entire drive, can even be seen by Android)

The question is, how much to keep for the exFAT part?

I have a 130 GB /home directory (you might think of it as the D drive in Windows).
