On newer PCs, these are SSD drives. What size do you have for drive C? I have 464 GB in total, and it's using a little more than a quarter of the 464 GB, or more precisely, 314 GB, which is free—that's actually enough for programs.
How do you do that? Do you also just copy programs and the system to the C drive, or also other programs or files?
I'm thinking about buying a 2 TB SSD

Loading...I would like to sell my old pc And my question is, is it enough if I reset it completely or do I have to format the hard drives, which is a bit more complicated with the SSD. The HDD is easy to do. I would like to use my old Win key on my…
When I tried to open a program on Epic Games, this message appeared: What exactly do I need to do? There's enough space on the HDD. Funnily enough, I can't uninstall the program either. The same message appears. _______ Additionally, I couldn't install another program because it apparently didn't have enough space. The HDD still…
What is a aapippi carrot?
Good morning, I'm using the Pop OS distro, but I can't write to the sda3 hard drive, for example, put any files on it. What the hell should I do? Please help, otherwise I'll throw my hard drive out the window in anger.
Good day, I have the Beelink SEi12 Mini PC and would like to install a better SSD. However, I can't decide which one to get. Maybe someone here can help me decide which one is better. https://www.amazon.de/fanxiang-S880-Internes-Solid-State/dp/B0C36YQCX8/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=20EZR59EPWKEC &keywords=PCIe+4.0+NVMe+SSD&qid=1689448780&s=computers&sprefix=pcie+4.0+nvme+ssd%2Ccomputers%2C112&sr=1-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 2. https://www.amazon.de/Crucial-CT2000P5PSSD8-Solid-Fahr-6600MB/dp/B098W1NDV2/ref=sr_1_5?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&cri d=20EZR59EPWKEC&keywords=PCIe%2B4.0%2BNVMe%2BSSD&qid=1689448886&s=computers&sprefix=pcie%2B4.0%2Bnvme%2Bssd%2Ccomputers%2C112&sr=1-5&th=1
I spent two hours testing something on my "China" SSD today, and when I removed it from the PC, I noticed that either the plastic on the SSD or the power cable had burned a little. (See picture). Does this happen every now and then or is this the first time you've seen something like…
If you separate data and system, from my point of view a 1 TB for C is sufficient. A 640 GB would possibly also be enough, but the surcharge for a 1 TB can be eliminated.
I myself have only Windows and applications on C, and use C:\Temp as a temporary work folder for video editing. I usually have 450 GB of 1 TB.
D is then correspondingly larger, for everything there is for entertainment / longer-term data storage. For example, I have 8 TB to approx. 70%.
total I have only 464 GB and are still free 314 GB
Is that ne SATA SSD?
If so, I would get ne 2 TB SSD at your place and make it as drive D that leave 1 TB as C (including applications).
If no, I would get ne 1 TB SSD and make it as C (incl. applications that accelerates the PC enormously). And then use the old HDD as D. If the lifetime of the HDD is reached, then upgrade with 2-4 TB, as required. They don’t like the world anymore.
M.2 SSD can be worth it, but playing does not bring the M.2 so much. The M.2 NVME are well suited for file operations (copying, video editing, etc.) and are therefore very well suited as C, less than D. Who has a lot of money can also grab a M.2 SSD for drive D, but there is also a standard SATA3 SSD that is cheaper.
I currently have M.2 NVME for C and D in, both Gen4 with Gen5 board. Can therefore confirm that in games the M.2 is a bit more speed when loading compared to the old SATA3 SSD configuration (estimates 30%-40% faster than before), but not in the ratio as expected when comparing the data on the paper.
I’ve been using at least two hard drives for over 30 years. One for the system and one for my data.
If I have to reset the system or change the hardware (upgrade or due to defect) I can set up the new system by deleting the system panel and then simply plug the board with my personal data into it.
This makes no more so much sense today because of the latency-free access of SSDs, but is still a practical separation. Thus, you can not remove the partition with the personal data, because it is only after that if the system panel is completely deleted and prepared.
Thanks to NVMe, Laptopjs have almost always two slots, so nothing speaks about making it on a laptop.
Currently I use the 1⁄4TB for system and programs and 1TB for personal data.
That’s enough for me because I have several NAS storage systems and have almost a hundred TB available on the network. I don’t have to bunk much in the PC/laptop on the plate.
I basically have 3 partitions. One only for Windows, so that it is not full-covered, one for all other programs and files and a recovery drive if it ever bumms.
What size?
1TB SSD, which has 970GB utility memory, recovery is 30GB large, Windows 140GB (comic number, I know, so stay exactly 800GB for everything else and that makes my inner monk happy)
Have I also thought to make 3 partitions but have created a stick to me bootable with Win 11 separately- had the idea to make a partition recovery but look at the thing not so by
could I make a partition recovery with the 314 GB?
Got a 1TB SSD as drive C: for Windows and programs.
Otherwise, three more SSDs for files and games
Overview of my drives:
Drive C: 67.7 GB free from 464 GB (SSD)
Drive D: DVD-RW (X)
Drive E: 3,31 TB free from 3,63 TB
Drive F: 204 GB free of 465 GB
Drive G: 216 MB (!) free from 97,6 GB
Drive H: 65.5 MB free of 99.9 MB (< System Reserved)
Drive I: 263 GB free from 368 GB
Drive J: 3.73 GB free from 111 GB
These are internal records. Have another NAS with 4 hard drives, but I just don’t have access to it and I can check…
Windows, main programs and outsourcing is installed on C because the fastest and the rest is distributed.
Got a 256 GB SSD for Windows and Programs and a 2 TB for everything else.
I mean alone drive C the size
500 GB, didn’t create 2nd partition, how much MacOS does it for itself, I don’t know
