Not a big issue to me.... I prefer safety. It's like carry a tray with full of glass... you carry one shot altogether or separately. Another point is that by separating the partition, you have a separately allocated allocation table for each partition. So, when your files gets more and more, the search may slow down, versus if you partition it, it's separately managed. What is an allocation table, it's like a menu of a book, keeping track which file it located at which address in the disc. However, on the negative side is, you sacrifice some space for the allocation table.
