I’m backing up my data to external hard drives and don’t really care about speed because I won’t be accessing the data.

I’ve heard the general rule to only use about 75% of a hard drive but that is advice for an active hard drive in a system.

Is it recommended to not fill up an external hard drive to say 95% with data?

Besides speed, is it better to not fill the drive up?
