Well I guess theoretically there could be some sort of performance gain because of a smaller MFT, less fragmenting etc.
But as I said, it probably won't be noticeable at all on an average computer, considering how fast HDDs are nowadays.

I have about 110Gb of files I seldom access (music, videos,pictures, etc), and I thought that by placing all these files in a 2nd partition that I would be reducing the distance traveled by the drive's head in the system partition, hence increasing performance.

Usually, also when using only one partition, a decent defragmenting program should be able to take care of that by moving all the system files into one place and the lesser used files (music, pics etc) to another.

edit: btw alegator, you have 476 posts and I have 674 =p just a random thing i noticed..
