Wow eaten up 25gb+ ~! @@

I just wanted to share this info from my own installation.
I got the 40GB Vertex 2 SSD
With just basic Windows 7 Ultimate, Firefox, windows update, i have used about 17GB of space. I have moved my documents, games and my profile contents to another drive to conserve space. It works but I am beginning to feel strained everytime I install, have to watch where i install it, how much space left in the SSD drive.

A little stressful but the boot-up and shutdown times was a spectacular moment to enjoy.
So for those thinking if 40GB will even cut it, you have my thoughts on this...

how you move and still keep windows consistant ? if the hdd holding yr profile crashes will yr win7 ultimate still able to boot ? and recreate a new profile ?

I think the profile data itself is still in the main drive. Only profile's linked content such as desktop, download, my documents, my videos and so on can be shifted. You will need to change the properties of the folder and redivert it to another drive. Perhaps i was not too clear on my statement....

But 40GB is doable for those unsure if they should be spending RM8xx for the higher capacity drives.

Ok, I know any folders can be added as default "My Documents", but I didn't knew Desktop can be done as well, teach teach

Right click at My Documents, you will see a Target folder location, change that to your designated folder.

Erm, yeah I know about "My Documents", please teach the "Desktop" one

Oopps.. that one I also dunno.. wait for the forumer to come back..

maybe you can try this and update us if it works or not

just look into the folder(assuming you use Win7) using windows explorer C:\Users\[profile_name]
Right click on the properties of each folder and you can change the location store.

yeah thats true.. too much hassle.

i dont think 40gb gonna do it for me bcause i hav tons of folders at desktop.

designing stuff..

mayb 80gb will suffice.

Hi,
I too use the desktop extensively to store my files and i changed the desktop store location to another drive. I don't feel any difference ie.e. slowdown and it helps you keep the 20 odd GB of available space in check.

I must iterate that it is definitely doable. I am sure there are others who are also doing it this way. The only sacrifice is the convenience of just clicking save or next during installation. You have to think where you are going to store that file or program.

Recently, I saw Intel SSDs fall in price. Hm, guess that new gen of SSDs is around the corner.

Joining the party soon.

Got F60 at CEX for Rm439

recently bought Kingston SSDNow V 100 64gb for RM350

Nice.. Toshiba chipset.. i still stick with SandForce chipset more.. haha.. tats why using a Vertex 2 and a Corsair F60 now..
