I fail to understand your logic."If this drive fails a new one can be rebuilt without threatening your data."
What if the _data_ drive fails? If you don't have a backup of your data, you're still screwed. Doesn't matter if the OS and data are on the same drive or not. Managing the drives may be made a tiny bit easier by segregating the two, but you gain nothing in terms of data security.
No, when we're talking about a music library, there are some other advantages to placing it on its own drive(s). For instance, you can pull the drives from one machine and place them into another. But that's a question of convenience more than anything.
