Hi guys just wondering what specification I should be looking out for when buying a new SSD to avoid drastic slow downs as the drive starts to get full? Thanks.
"30GB for Windows" is NOT viable.I actually don't need more than 30 GB for Windows and apps.
I am not a gamer but have some ISO's for the PS2 emulator that I store on another HDD.
what is better then, a partition of 100GB and 400GB unallocated or a partition say it 450GB and 50GB for over-provisioning. ???
Buying the biggest SSD within the budget makes it a lot easier.
so if we have enough with 100GB and leave 400GB out for overprovisioning will it slow down when it's full ?
10-15% of total disk space should be unallocated.so if we have enough with 100GB and leave 400GB out for overprovisioning will it slow down when it's full ?
Do you know if there's a specific specification to measure how well a SSD with preform when almost full compare to another drive under the same conditions?To pick a number out of the air, 90% full might be the point.
Even then, you will probably not notice slowness until you are very close to out.
90% is where you would be planning for an increase in capacity, regardless.
FWIW; microsoft flight simulator 2020 needs 150gb.
I need to upgrade early.
? If you are only using 100 GB of 500 GB, then it's not full.
If there's something else you're trying to ask about, I think you need to be a bit more clear.
for example a 500GB SSD, you should leave 75GB unallocated for 15%. Samsung's often ship with a 10% OP or the app for the SSD defaults to that.
That would mean ~80% of SSD capacity is wasted and unusable. Obviously this is excessive.if I leave 400GB out for over-provisioning will my SSD work better and last longer when the 100GB partition is full ?

10 - 15% for overprovisioning is plenty.
