SSD and Drive Quotas?

[Trin]

Hello!!! Fellow geeks who adore and know Windows 7 like they know themselves: Do you have a Solid State Drive (instead of a mechanical hard drive) as a primary drive? I want to set Disk Quotas :sarc:- I'm really the only user using my computer, however occasionally I let others use it, and I've got an SSD. I specifically want to only limit each non-admin user to 20 MB each, enough for office documents but not enough for programs or videos.

Can I safely do this? it won't partition my drive again will it?...can't find anything on the net in plain english anywhere (I think I found one thread that was pertinent but it was too techy for me lol) so I guess no one had any problems with trying this on an SSD. I cant imagine it being too big an issue as it appears it wont do any real changes...anyway a second opinion before applying such settings would be great!

Disk Quotes is an enforcement via Windows it doesn't affect the underlying hardware.

That's true, no partitioning will be done by disk quotas. Windows will just allocate your specified quota to each user account.

Thank you guys!!! THis helped a lot.

I've found also that with Disk Quotas it apparently is very literal to how much you're allowed- as it counts the profile itself as part of the limit. So instead of 20 MB, I'm doing 40 instead, because 10 or so MB is dedicated to the profile. Ah well.
