Partitioning a drive lets you use different file systems on different parts.

It also lets you somewhat-better enforce things like:

* Setting some data aside as read-only-never-touch-it.

* Excluding some files and directories from searching and indexing.

although admittedly you don't _have_ to partition for that purpose.
