Whilst that is true, there are newer reasons for partitioning..

- You cant fill a root partition with user data if that is on a separate 
partition.
- You cant e.g. fill /var with e.g. MySQL data if that is on a separate 
partition..

That is while performance issues are completely irrelevant with large 
SSDs, some security issues still remain.

Do my NAS server has a small but adequate root partition, and separate 
var, home and backup partitions
