  Places on the hard disk, that may grow such as /tmp and /var are sometimes 
well kept on separate disks to limit their growth.  Same applies 
to /usr/local, which ensures local data separate from the main OS.  You'd 
want /home on a separate disks, merely to ensure portability and simplify 
security such as with RAID.

  Beyond that, I usually keep the OS on one disk apart from /boot.  I dual 
boot, by keeping Windows on a separate disk.

My 2€¢ worth.
