[QUOTE="6string, post: 1027105, member: 120039"] Don't have to, but it couldn't hurt at this point. To do this, it's as simple as making a bootable clone with [URL="http://www.bombich.com/"]CCC[/URL] or [URL="http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html"]SuperDuper[/URL], zeroing out your HD, and then cloning back. Just as a sidenote, I limit myself to keeping not much more than 10-20GB of music on my HD and 2-3 movies at any time, and any excess music and movies I keep on an external HD. This leaves my internal HD at approx 75% free and has done for the last 2yrs, and my Mac has always been flying along. So, as mentioned above, if you want to store everything on your internal, a new internal would be a great option. [/QUOTE]
