Isn't that very hard and unparactical?

I keep an external hard drive for all of my files, and back the super important ones onto a flash drive. The folders are just organized by catagory (My Pictures, My Papers, My Videos) then sub-catagorized by subject. I try to keep them in the same format whenever possible, but I use so many programs to track everything that it sometimes becomes a jumbled mess.

"files catigurised, with lots of subfolders"

I usually sort my storage something like this:
---------------------------------
Audio
+ Albums
+ Singles
+ Random/Incomplete

Video (random files does not reach subfolders)
+ Music
+ + Live
+ + PVs
+ + Concerts
+ Movies
+ TV Shows

Images (random files does not reach subfolders)
+ Photobooks

Documents
-----------------------------

Saves more space than partitioning to keep all on one drive. My partitions look are on:
/
/home
[swap]
/media/hda5 (storage/torrents)

EDIT:
Most non-Audio is transferred too my external HDD.
