I've got a 300GB external (seagate barracuda) and I divided it into
several 30GB partitions for the majority of my video projects. I seldom
work on things that start out with more than an an hour or so of video,
say 20 GB max. (though most are ~10GB). This leaves lots of room for
photos and music or special audio files. There are a couple of bigger
partitions for the rare times when I need more room.
