no dev here, but ...

> 1) How is your drive/system laid out regarding your paritions?
Fedora drive is a btrfs pool with subvolumes for /, /home, /home/<main 
user>/DATA
~10 % of the disksize is for overprovisioning and not (!) in the pool

> 2) Do you have multiple drives (SSD/Sata)?
2 ssd's (one F34, second win 8.1)
1 external rotating HD (Backup)

> 3) Is OS on one drive, apps/data on the other?
see 1)
/home/<main user>/DATA was grown as separat, esp. for new installs without need 
to shovel big data around (just unmount/unplug, (re-)install OS, remount)

> 4) Do you switch between OS(es)?
umh, no, I start Win 8.1 via vbox without special reboot into it. I just 
staying in Fedora
- boot files generated with:
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename ./Win_RAW.vmdk -rawdisk 
/dev/sdX -partitions 1,2 -relative
- then vbox pointing to that files/disk

> 5) What's your "backup" process/strategy?
- weekly rsync to an external rotating HD of /boot, /etc, /home, /lib/modules, 
/root, /var/www, /var/lib/radical

> 6) What's your "update" strategy(ies)?
I'm not clear what you mean here, but I mostly follow what Fedora/Kernel people 
"throw into internet"

get a 500 GB SSD:
- often higher TBW
- often faster then 256
- to get ~10 % of the unused disk size for "overprovisioning" into your account
