In my mind 50 GByte - 100 GByte are more than enough for a root file system, where usually nothing happens but a little writing to and from /tmp and /var/tmp.
There are excellent reasons to have /tmp and /var each on separate file system/partitions, each with a different kind of optimization to suit the traffic. Oh, and /srv and perhaps /opt and /local as well. The latter will simplify things things when it comes to doing upgrades. Trust me on that! It really does make life simpler on upgrades! Given my druthers, I'd follow on the idea of "No Traffic" on the RootFS by making it read-only. There's a bit of security in that. (I suppose if you're obsessive you would follow that with /usr/bin/, /usr/sbin/, /usr/lin{64/,/} being on a RO FS (perhaps with symlinks from /usr) as well.) Oh, yes, it amazing what you can do with a snipping a wire and replacing it with a switch! All these multi-terabyte drives have a lot of downsides! Having separate 50M, 100M drives also means a lot of parallelism and the CompSci books are are always pointing you that with parallelism comes performance ...
