There are several disadvantages to using disk space:
1) Loss of available space as items are saved, which slows down processing speeds.
2) After reaching a certain amount of occupied disk space, you risk a hard drive crash or failure to operate. When there is a disruption a computer will usually reboot and during this process it searches for errors and deletes them. Normally it will replace or repair damaged sectors, but if you are out of space then it will erase the sectors and permantly be unable to reboot. You'll end up with a paper weight. Do no belief a technician if they tell it is not possible. This comes from personal experience and also the manufacturer will confirm this.
