The first bit is always the fastest bit.

General consensus for a HFS+ formatted drive is 10% HD space free.

Hmm, guess I should move my music collection to my firewire drive, my iBook's HD is down to 1.6gb free.

Bad things can happen when HD space becomes too low. I'd never let it get under 1 GB of free space.
