SSD space for OS

[woox]

I am planning on buying an SSD to install Windows 8.1 on my new PC. This may be a stupid question, but if I am going to be installing ONLY the OS on the SSD, do I really need anything more than 60GB?

no 60 GB is fine

60GB is just fine, though I'd say it's not really value for money, you could spend a few extra bucks and get easily a 256gb. Crucial MX100 256gb is so good for the money.

You can have MX100 128GB or 256GB.

They are really cheap and VFM.

Even 32GB would be enough, though barely. The problem with such small drives is that they don't perform nearly as well as bigger ones, don't last as long and the value for money is terrible. 32GB SSD's I wouldn't recommend at all for the first two reasons and a 60GB SSD is 40-50 euros whereas a 128 one is 60. If you can't afford a 128GB drive, it's not worth it and you really should think about if you're spending one the right things.
