Partition the drive will only give you more 'virtual' drives. That alone is certainly not enough to protect you or guarantee you from drive failure. All your eggs are still in the same physical basket.

I believe that everyone will get a turn at a drive failure, sooner or later. You must have a guaranteed recovery path.
