Because of the very nature of windows, even with an aps partition lots of crap still gets installed onto the c drive.
Sooner of later a windows os install will need to be refreshed ie format and install, so I just use 2 smaller drives for my raid 0 and then I partition a second set of drives if I want raid 0 speed for data and such.
Also when I create a raid 0 install I ghost it so I can put it back quickly.
