[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1631998, member: 24160"] Just from that info, and "assuming" the hard drive is ok, the slow downs are due to a combination of: a) the little amount of free space available and b) the free space being extremely fragmented. If you have more data, movies or unused apps you can delete and get back up to around 20-25% free space, that will help. A defrag on a drive that has been that full would help tremendously. I would also suggest a new larger drive replacement. However, you need a backup first if you don't have one. You can get any external drive you want. As an example, I have my wife set up with just an el cheapie WD My Passport drive - 1 TB - about $70 from Amazon, Fry's... [/QUOTE]
