Do you know how cheap the externals are these days?
fohfoh:
500GB? Don't you friggin know how to make partitions? Or are you going to say OSX and many linux distros have "evolved" beyond the need for partitions and the only reason you'd make one is because microsoft would shit itself if it was installed beside OSX?
"Consoles" will never disappear. Rather, it might be a merge in the opposite direction. Handhelds/phones etc will take over while consoles and computers will be merged into them.

Partitions suck, my thumb rule is one partition per hard drive, I bet indigo has a similar train of thought.

Yeah I do, 500GB drives are somewhere between $55-$80 US depending on brand and case features. I still can't afford them.

I don't really have anything against partitions, other than having tons of volume icons eating my desktop space. I just don't want to be bothered with having to resize one if, say, my anime collection grew larger than what the partition could handle.

Holy shit that is cheap, here they start at about 100USD and go up to 150USD if I want eSATA features. So stop whining, buy an external and don't keep stash on your OS drive ;)
