18 partitions and 5 bootable on *one* hard drive - impressive. "Keep all
your eggs in one basket?" What happens if bad luck happens and that *one"
hard disk fails - oh your backups...........

IMO say if you split the above onto say 3 hard drives with mobile racks
with backups - a less critical situation if one hard disk fails and you
need to reach for the backup. Money issues - always a consideration and
noted.

YMMV.
