10% might work for you but it definitely does not work for me. I have a 1tb drive and 348 gb free space. Most operations run slower than normal. I deleted about 150gb of music to bring it up to 350gb because it ran too slow to use. Now it runs fast enough to use but I still have a lot of wasted time. I had a 350gb drive and had the same problems way before 35gb free space.
