[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1335310, member: 24160"] With a current 80GB iTunes library, the first thing I'd be doing is upgrading that hard drive to maybe a 500GB. I've found the same holds true in OS X as in Windows - you'll want to keep a minimum of 15% free space on your system drive. I'm probably just a tad hypersensitive to system slow downs - I notice slow downs due to not enough free space right about 30% - same as on that other OS. If you want to know where all your drive space is being used, I find [URL="http://whatsizemac.com/"]WhatSize[/URL] to be well worth the price and it has a free trial. A freebie is [URL="http://www.derlien.com/"]Disk Inventory X[/URL] - it's only a graphical display though and not nearly as helpful imho. [/QUOTE]
