WELL!! 2 TB OUGHTA DO IT. Yes, I agree, must keep boot partition down to a reasonable size, put the disk cache/swap file (I still think in Winsucks/Linux terms) there, other apps in a separate partition, then data in yet another.
I usta put my apps and swap file on a different partition, but it got to be too much hassle for too little performance gain. Plus I have a few apps that can't find their whatnots if they're not on the same volume as the booted System Folder. :\
