Default [OT-ish] HDD formatting "good practice"

Well the time has come.....as it does every few years.

My HDD is virtually full. I have insufficient memory. My PC is too noisy.
My son tells me my graphics card is inadequate. No more room for
enhancements and upgrades. It's time for a new one.

I've just ordered one of these http://tinyurl.com/kjp8p with (amongst other
things) a 500G HDD which I envisage assembling this weekend.

The most important decision I have to make in the coming days is whether to
format the 500G as one huge partition or to have multiple partitions eg:
100G for OS and applications and 400G for My Documents/Pictures/Videos etc.

What would you do?


David
