I'm wondering if anybody has some long term experience using a small separate HDD or possibly a separate partition exclusively for the OS. Whenever I have a need to re-format I install another clean drive with a fresh OS installation. Then I migrate data and apps at my leisure from the old drive. I'm wondering what the pitfalls are to using a second drive just for the OS right from the start. Thanks in advance.
