Some gamers partition for performance, although the gains they achieve are probably not noticeable. I partition for backup purposes. OS and programs can not be copied in the conventional way. If you want to back these up, the most common way to accomplish this is with a partition imaging program. Since these programs make an exact copy of the entire partition, it is inefficient to image the entire hard drive, when regular data files are more easily just copied.

So to keep things simple, I think two partitions is easiest to manage. One smaller one for OS and programs, the rest for data.
