I have two 1 TB drives in my home desktop system. Just a basic setup, that's my gaming and video streaming host machine. One is the OS apps and data (what there is, it's mostly games and game/driver update downloads), the other contains the videos.

My laptop is a 500 GB drive, all in one partition. I do system images and user data backups so I'm not TERRIBLY concerned about ease of restore. I also do PC work for a living, and can have my work PC back to fully functional with my data and non-standard apps restored within 3 hours of starting the imaging process so I have the steps down pretty good...
 
Too lazy for screens, lol. I have Win7 on a 180GB HD (no where close to filling it). Ubuntu running on VMWare with 50GB :)...nothing special :-P

This is my laptop; I partition all my computers' drives the same way, where /dev/sda6 is mounted on /home and /dev/sda7 on /data.
