It all depends on what you want to do.
  Advantages of partitioning to small drives are
1.  You can assign each drive to different jobs or persons.  (For example I
have partitions for  CD copying,  Kids ,  Software and data.  The advantage
is you can format and restart each partition without the worry about the
loss of  info. on other partitions.  You can stops kids filling the hard
disk with all the games they can find.

2.  You can defrag and scan the drives independently.  Also fragmentation of
the drive will be less if you keep only programs on one drive  and data on
another.
