[QUOTE="krs, post: 1850430, member: 67742"] Man - I hate that when google brings up hits on their first page that are essentially "ancient" in this day and age. I usually check, but I didn't this time - one would think google would be smart enough to rank more recent articles higher in their search results Jake -thanks for those details: However, there was a bit of a discussion about free space required on drives and Randy seemed to have quite a different opinion - it was basically keep 20% or better free on either SSD or spinner. Also begs the question why SSDs slow down so dramatically and what causes that. See post #3 I only have one 2017 Mac with an SSD so have basically no first-hand experience how SSDs behave when free space is reduced. I just bought a 500 GB external SSD I want to use as a boot drive, so I'm really interested to find out at what point I might run into problems because of lack of free space. That drive will only have 60GB of free space. RAM on the Mac this will be used with is 16MB. [/QUOTE]
