The brain bit ... Think of brains as a copy of computers. As a hard drive stores more and more, the heads must travel more to retrieve data and the CPU must sort through more keys and larger FATs to find what's wanted. An empty, or near empty, disk is quick. An underloaded CPU responds instantly. But the value of a disk is what's on it, not it's speed. Anyone who's experienced a disk crash will be glad to get their data back, no matter how long it takes. I've never heard of anyone wiping the data off their disk to improve throughput. Don't be concerned about slowing down with age. Who'd trade a full head for an empty one, even if it is faster? Cheerios, PW.
