Table partioning for archiving

$

Hi,

I have a database that is taking up approximately 66% of space on a network drive that also hosts other databases. The culprit is one table which is currently 40GB in size. I was considering table partitioning as a solution to archive off some of this data onto a different file group with more space available. The table is primarily used for reads. The data is to be retained, so I don't really have the option of purging historical records. If I have understood things correctly, am I correct in saying table partitioning would be a reasonable solution in this instance?

åThanks.
