> Do I want to install TechTool Protection in system preferences? I have it installed. It keeps an eye on the hard drives in a pretty benign manner. You can set it to periodically run SMART checks and watch for free space. Mine is set to do a SMART check every four hours and to make sure the drive is less than 85% full. It will automatically email me when either check has a problem. It also keeps a backup of the volume directory, which can make it easier to restore a nuked volume. > I also learned > I have used 488.56 GB > 11.2 GB Free Space > Largest Contiguous Free Space is 523.07 MB > Free Space Fragmentation 95.33% > 0 fragmented files. I’d say you are walking on the edge with that drive. There’s only about 2% of free space, so I’m not surprised there are problems optimizing it. If you can’t throw out a bunch of stuff, I think you ought to splurge on a bigger drive. L^2
