Okay I did not remember your statement correctly. But I have noticed after 50% things start slowing down a little. And if I get to 20% they have slowed down a lot. I do agree at 10% you are risking damage but I would say from the poor performance I have seen at 20% it suggest the drive is rising damage. 30% and above seems to work a lot better for me. Even 10% seems to be a lot of wasted space since on a 1TB drive that is around 100gb. That is how it works for me and it is not limited to 1 drive. As for the memory I usually only have one app open at a time so that is not a problem.
