Is a fuller harddrive slower to use?
A hard drive with many things on it is just as fast as one with 1 thing.
If your hard drive has lots of data, it is slower to make your way around it all. It bogs you down.

An interesting thought I had: If you want to load something particular from a hard drive,and there is a lot of other stuff on it, it may take longer to find the thing you're looking for. Imagine a storage unit full of boxes: if you were trying to find one particular thing, which is in one of the boxes, you would have to look through a bunch of other stuff first, before you find it; possibly opening many unwanted boxes along the way.

As computer users in the modern age, we love the idea of a big hard drive that is full of lots of data. But could it be the case that all of this precious data is slowing us down? Because when we want to load it, there is other data in the way.
