MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
It's finally time to upgrade my computer.
Swapping some bits out and a new W7 pro install.
The OS will run on an SSD, profiles & data on other drives.
Question is what size SSD? 120ish Gb or is it worth spending the extra on a 250 Gb?
Cheers guys.
Not that big, but you will need to allow 50-60Gb for all the gubbins you'll end up with, update restore points and whatnot. 60Gb is considered enough for a single partition for Windows. I would go 128Gb if buying an SSD just in case.
I have my W7 install on a 60Gb SSD
It takes up 24.4Gb, and there's a 1Gb pagefile
11.2Gb of that is the notorious winsxs file, but I havent installed/uninstalled too many apps so it shouldnt be too big. I moved to the 60Gb from a 32Gb because the winsxs folder had got massive.

It's not just size, larger SSD are faster too.
(you read and write across more memory chips in parallel)
Very useful, thanks guys 🙂
Stoner - thanks for the PIC, helps a lot.

he's a big lad, no wonder he takes up so much space.
