Yes, I "favor" partitioning. Sorry I was not clear on the number of drives line of thinking. My bad. For some reason I thought you were looking for a single drive in that price range.
Even in the days of DOS I've run two or more hard drives and am currently down to 6 physical drives in this box. With IDE I would even run (and still do) a hard drive as primary and a burner behind it on each channels for performance reasons instead of the traditional 2 hard drives on on channel and the opticals on the other. That old hot rod trick doesn't matter in the day of SATA, though.
