Free space on SSD, less than 3% left, does it affect anything?

Free 10GB out of 465.
The disk is not a system one, it is used as a storage for photos / videos / movies.
Is it better to release, or can you leave it as it is?

Affects speed.
If the disk is used primarily as storage, there is no problem.
Although there is not much point in using an SSD as storage either.

If it is not critical for you that the write speed has dropped somewhat, and you rarely write to it, then do not worry and leave it as it is.

If the drive is not a system drive, then you can leave it as it is.

It is better to keep 10% free space for TRIM to work correctly.
