[QUOTE="MacKeeper, post: 1042871, member: 151283"] The only way having a lot of media on your main HDD can slow it down is if you don't have enough space left on it for OS and apps to operate, or if it becomes extremely fragmented. Since fragmentation is not an issue on Macs, as long as you keep a small buffer just like whitehorse84 said, you will be fine even without an external HDD. Do get one of course if you are running low on space. [/QUOTE]
