I never partition any of my drives. If I get the feeling to have a separate partition I buy another drive and keep it whole. I guess that's why I have over 1.6 TB of total storage space. I used to do the whole OS partition/Data partition/Small pagefile drive/etc - but now it's just too troublesome and didn't seem to be worth it. I wouldn't go more than 2 partitions on that drive if I were you - and only because you "might" want to put your OS on a seperate drive - but if it were me I wouldn't chop it up at all.
As far as using SATA as a slave - I've never seen a SATA channel that supported 2 drives on it - so a SATA drive would always be master - just secondary master or tertiary master... There woudn't be a slave on that channel.
