    Im using a 1TB disk among several other disks.

    Should I partition that disk into a smaler partition, like 2x 500GB, or just keep it at 1TB?

    It will make no difference. When you add the disk to the server, WHS will reformat it and create a single partition spanning the entire disk.
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    You can't change the partitions on a hard drive that is already part of the storage pool.
