IMHO you really don't gain anything by installing apps on a second
partition, if the drive fails you still loose them, if you have to reinstall
(not repair) your OS you still have to reinstall your apps. There are
usually still files that get installed on the system partition when
installing apps to a non system partition. Just my .02
