Hey everyone,
I'll be doing my first homebuild soon, and I was thinking about getting an SSD for Win7 x64 (to get those epic boot times), and a high-capacity HDD for the main storage. I know that for top performance, SSDs need about 20-30% of their space to be unused, but I'm not sure how big the OS/applications would get over time. My applications wouldn't be anything too fancy, just a game or two, some Java/C++/Python IDEs and stuff, and your standard MS Office, VLC, Firefox, iTunes, etc.
So, my question is: how much capacity will I need in my SSD to maintain that 20-30% headroom?
Thanks in advance.
