Separate Partitions?
I notice a lot of people use more than one HDD, one for OS and programs, the other for storage. I'm just wondering what advantages do that have over say having two separate partitions in one HDD? One partition for OS and the other for storage.

The only advantage is 2 separate drives protects you from a total drive failure.
