Also, your HDD read/write speed will go down a bit the closer it gets to being maxed out, but not by a huge percentage. Important thing is to keep it defragmented to help minimize drive performance loss. Use this around once or twice a month depending on how much stuff gets moved around on your HDD

If you feel comfortable, you can tweak your HDD and OS settings to maximize your HDD performance
