how does this affect my available storage if I were to replace both of those
sparse 500GB files with a real 1TB drive? Will it be same? Or will I have
expanded my storage?

Hi Bob,
The problem could be due to a faulty/failing disk, a poor connection
with a disk, or some other hardware issue. A failing disk can easily
make the system pause temporarily like that.
As root you can run '/usr/sbin/fmdump -ef' to see all the fault events
as they are reported. Be sur

However, certain drives, such as the Western Digital
