Default Trying to use my space more efficiently

I'm one of thouse format freaks who just loves to change things around on partition and move stuff and reformat, again and again and again, but I"m trying to stop that

So I have Samsung F1 spinpoint which is 1tb and Seagate 7200.11 1.5tb
my 1.5 is almost filled and has about 200gb left, my samsung is almost untouched because of OS and Apps and such there is about 700gb left in there. I was thinking about buying a velociraptor so I can use it for OS/APPs/GAmes and samsung for more datas, but no matter how I tried the Price compared larger capacities like 1tb just didn't make sense to me... so What do I do? Partition little bit of Samsung and Use about 200gb of os and rest for Data?
or is there a better way to handle this?

I would just make an OS partition on the sammy. With SSD's getting cheaper and cheaper there is no point in buying a velociraptor anymore.

sorry to be off topic, but ur sig says your Q9650 is at 3.6 Ghz and 1.9v..... 1.9v (for Summer Mode) That is pretty high. Are you sure you didn't mean to say 1.19v or 1.29v or something.. as it's lowered for summer, and will CRANK higher when winter comes. I do the same. even tho I'm on water.

Either way, Ya I'd just try to stick to a simpler way with as little partitions as you need. Instead of changing all the time.
