I MBR and single 2.5" SSD's for system drives.

For desktops and servers, I mount them in trayless racks.  My older 
laptops have externally accessible drive bays.

I keep my system images small enough to fit onto "16 GB" devices and 
take an image once a month to protect against operator error, bad 
updates/ upgrades, malware, device failure, etc..

I use ZFS for boot and root where available (OOTB on FreeBSD, Debian 
requires too much work) and install with "copies=2" to protect against 
localized storage errors, etc..
