Got my new Dell laptop with 256 GB SSD. The OS and pre-installed programs take up about 30GB of space. Less than what I expected . Good.

How do I know whether this SSD has a pre-installed software to limit usage to leave 10% space free (to prolong the life of the SSD)?

If nothing on that has been pre-installed, what software can you recommend?

Thanks.

P/S Maybe it was 130 GB and not 30 GB.

mine only populate 17gb without any software.

partition you ssd at least 30gb for window and the other partition for apps and games.

30GB would not be enough after some time, a lot residue files plus many program also copy files to user/app folder. Then when big Windows update it need 8-10GB free space.

I recommend at least 50GB for C:, but better if 100GB so no need to bother about running out of space for a very long time.

Check what brand and model the SSD is and then check the manufacturer website whether they have any software for the SSD.

Should be sufficient... unless u plan to download movie... then not enough.
1 or 2 AAA games will do just fine...

I usually clean up after window update.

30G is a bit tight really. Unless you don't mind see the bar always red
40G is sufficient. Been running that size since forever.

If your using Edge & noticed your C drive suddenly full / used up tons of space,
get WinDirStat software to check which folder took up too much space.
It is possibly Edge streaming cache causing problem.

Mine 128G. No problem. Still have 70G free.

Using 256 gb SSD for my W10; lots of space left even after putting in 1 or 2 modern day games of 40gb each.

Use my normal HDD for all the other movies and games that I don't play often. Works well!

Just installed 480GB Kingston A400. Only Windows 10 OS + some necessary drivers and software. Occupy about 30GB.
Get one for yourself and you wont have to worry about storage anymore.
I bought it @ RM268. You can get it now around RM275-290.
