for audio, I would recommend you to make a partition
40 gb for system and program and 40 gb for the audio files you will record and edit
in that way, you'll have less fragmented files
on the other hand, hd with partitions are sometimes more sensitive
in any case, had an external wf_hd to backup all your work
