SSD Free Space & Performance.
I have an Intel SSD for OS. Whether free space is at 20% or at 5% they does not appear to be any difference in performance that I can discern. By performance I mean running a vast 50GB game such as DCS World flight sim at close to max settings.
My specs are:
Computer type PC/Desktop
OS Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1
CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Motherboard ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Z87-C
Memory 16.00 GB
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770
Hard Drives (1) INTEL SSDSC2CW120A3 ATA Device (2) WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B0 ATA Device (3) WDC WD10EARS-00MVWB0 ATA Device.
Am a bit confused with this as I keep reading at various forums that you should have from 15%>25% free space. Is this a case that my PC setup has enough power that having free space of 5.59GB which is 5% of total size of 111.8GB does not effect performance? Should mention I have got rid of the hidden hibernation file on C drive but am wondering is it worth it for me to reduce the size of the page file from Windows allocation of 16GB down to a lower value like say 12GB or 8GB? This would give me more space to install another program but would it result in a discernible performance decrease?
Thx...GaRy
