Is this true, say my 500gb was at around 400gb, would my games and windows load a lot slower than what i have it at now, which is about 400gb free.
More full your hardrive: Slower performance?

Depends if you had defragged it !

Not necessarily. If the games were installed when the drive was reasonably empty then the files are unlikely to be fragmented and hence there wouldn't be a speed penalty. If the drive was nearly full when the files were written then they may be fragmented and hence the drive will have to jump to each part in turn thus introducing delays due to the time needed to move the disk head to the new location.Liquid_Entity said:
Fragmentation is a lot less common on NTFS than FAT file systems though simply due to the way NTFS allocates space - it looks for contiguous space and will only fragment a file if there isn't a big enough space for it.
