You never end up with 'only' Windows on it. Anti virus, maintenance tools, Windows updates, etc, etc.
can it be this ?

Thats the one I would recommend, cheap, fast (for almost anyone, performance addicts aside who need another 20-50 MB throughput) and reliable. And don't partition it, thats the oldest tech tale in the book. One drive is only as fast as one drive can be. Partitioning the drive is proven to actually increase seek times, not make it faster by any means. Why, because the OS has to think more about one drive. Keep it simple, plug it in, install OS, antivirus (if you need it, I never have (also don't wander everywhere on the web, installing everything I see)), and anything else you want to start with windows. Like skype, or steam.
