free space and performance

[eon]

Could a 750gig samsung f1 with a little over 200gigs free space start to slow down in a vista PC?
I'd hate to have this bottleneck my new PC when I put it together.

I wouldn't imagine that it would create that much of a slowdown. Perhaps, if the OS spread files all over the drive. Which, then, a simple defrag should fix. Do you have any more info?

Don't get 750 GB samsung.
If you want Samsung F1 you want either 320 or 1TB ones since those always come with faster 333 GB platters.

If you want 640 then get WD6400AAKS
