Free Space on SSD Drive routinely down and then up by over 10GB

[Bazman76]

Hi there,

Every time when I first start my PC it only shows 2GB space left on my 111GB SSD drive.
However every time I restart it shows 14GB remaining on my SSD drive?
Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Which number is correct?
Remember I am not changing anything in between restarts?

Thanks

Baz

Please fill in your system specs; including what security programs you use and power supply.

Here is a tutorial by Brink that will help you.

Thanks for the response I have updated my system info as shown in the instructions but some of the information like the PSU size/brand was not available from the system info software is this normal?

Perhaps hibernate/pagefile acting up.

By the way, I guess SSD's are recommended to have 25% free space (garbage collection reasons) for optimal performance.

The way you get the power supply specs is looking on the sticker on the side of the power supply.

Windows 7 want at least 10% free space on its partition to work properly.
