Win7 on an SSD boot disk - What size SSD?

[neilwheel]

Hi all,

I'm thinking about adding an SSD drive to my Medion PC and was wondering about how much capacity I'll need to buy to make the SSD the boot disk. I know that bigger is better but I'm working on a limited budget so cost is a major consideration. Will 128gb cut it or will I need more gb's to boot Win 7 64bit?

You should be fine with 128G.

128 GB is actually 119 GB, yes it`s fine, but if you could get something in the 180 to 256 GB size it would be better in the long run, but 128 GB is fine too.

Just don`t clutter it up, I`m only using 25 GB of my 250 GB drive.

There are things you can do to lower the amount of space used on a ssd, we could talk about that if and when you get one and have windows installed
