Valid point.

I just run into so many machines that someone aimed low on one of the partitions making it super frustrating when needing to run a program that'll only work in one place.

I guess with big drives you could leave a ton of space, say 100-150+GB for the OS, and then the rest for other.

I have almost all media (music/video/installer files/etc.) on a couple of external or network drives, so when I nuke a system, it's just a bunch of docs and some pics, all fits on a USB drive no problem.
