If you hard drive  say 90 gig is 99% full, will that affect performance on the internet, booting up and general performance.

I think it will. A person I am talking with does not believe it.

If it's a spinning hard drive, then it's likely super fragmented, and even the swap file may be badly fragmented. This will hurt performance. If it's an SSD, and it hasn't been over-provisioned, 99% full will literally kill it.

Nothing you'd notice.



The virtual memory area and OS area would remain unaffected for web browsing and bootup.




More likely your 90 G drive is being used in an XP machine with 128megs of ram, and that's why it's slow

Anything less than 10% free will affect performance.
