    Experienced the same dilemma as jno.

    My operating system went beserk, and I had to do a clean format of my primary partition.

    My second partition remained "clean," as it only contained work instead of all the system files.

    Plus (at least I know on PC), you can limit encryption of your data on specific partitions, instead of the entire HD.

    Likewise, you can probably find files a lot faster, since the computer can be limited to only searching specific partition instead of the entire disk.

    In summary, unless you have a ridiculously small HD, I don't see any major arguments against partitioning ones HD.
