I remember past advice not to fill a hard drive too full as it affected it’s performance.
Does this advice still hold with an SSD?
I have approx. 350 GB of music on my Mac and although I may buy some more it probably won’t be much. l’m wondering if I could manage with a 500 GB SSD instead of 1TB.

The more music you have in your library, the longer it will take to index it. SSD drives can speed this up considerably. Magnetic drives can slow down as the disk fills up and files become fragmented. This is only likely to become a problem for music storage if you regularly replace some of the stored music with other music. In practice, most people just continue to add more music over time, so fragmentation is unlikely to be an issue. The other benefit of SSD over magnetic drives is the absence of any mechanical noise.
