My Raptor just died and im on a standard sata II now with my os and ive hardly noticed the difference. I would keep your os and apps on the 80 and install games and larger more intensive programs to the larger drive.
Reasoning when you run a program it accesses the hard drive if the os is running on the same drive and something runs then the hard drive is trying to read write and read more often so it causes a bottleneck. Running more labour intensive apps off a second drive will clear this bottleneck. Partitioning a large drive and having the os on a smaller partition is compounding the bottlenect imo.
I run a large number of drives each have there own purpose so the need to read and write to the same drive twiceor more at the same time in normal use isnt a problem for me
