[SOLVED] 500gb ssd question.

[Dreadbeard]

Hey, I'm using a 500gb ssd as a game drive how much space should I leave free on it to keep it safe and smooth? I've got 175gb free on it at the moment.

20% -25% Free is what I go with.

10% is fine.
There is some overprovisioning on the drive already (started with 512GB)

15-20%

For a 500GB drive, generally don't go over 400GB actual used space.

I do about 20%.
To make sure I don't go into that space, I only create a partition that doesn't fill the drive.
