yep i had a typo
i meant to say i CAN confirm it
also it was a single unpartitioned drive
it was a 320 with about 20 unread for whatever reason it always hides part of the disk (backups for system restore or something i think)
so i had 300gb usable drive space with 190 filled and 110 unused so i figured it had plenty so it wouldnt slow me down but for the reasons shipsrus explained it causes a bottleneck in your system so its the size of the drive that is the most important and how full that drive is.
once you get to or pass the halfway point of your drive capacity it starts hurting the speed of your system and while it may not matter to the average person if you want the full speed you can get out of it try and size your disk so its never more than 1/4 to 1/3 full to keep max performance.
