SSD FULL

[wkelly]

In my pc I have got a Corsair force LS series 60GB SSD for my boot drive and a 1TB Seagate barracuda as a mass storage. The SSD is now full and I cannot download any thing else so I need a new SSD with more capacity (120GB or more). I have hardly any money to spend so £30-50 is really all I can spend. What should I get.

Thanks

Umm why not just put things on your hard drive......................

Or clean your SSD?

This doesnt seem like rocket science

Move all of your junk from the SSD to the HDD and only install the most important applications on the SSD. Also redirect your downloads to the HDD for more capacity. Like @Swndlr said, it ain't rocket science

I updated windows from 8 to 10 on my laptop's 32GB ssd and installed a few programs like chrome, skype, steam, etc and still got like 8GB free. You disabled hibernation and cleaned old windows files?

 

Edit: Also redirect all your documents and downloads to the hdd, helps over time ;D

I have already redirected my downloads and documents. What does disabling hibernation do and how do I disable it?

It normally frees up around 10GB of space. It acts like sleep, only it always takes up space on your os drive waiting to write everything that would of been frozen in sleep, to the storage device.

 

You can run CMD as admin and use the command "powercfg -h off" to instantly get 10-20GB of space back from your os drive (depends on your pagefile size/ram).

 

Also run disk cleanup and check for old windows files that can be cleaned up/deleted. My fresh install of windows 10 even had 3GB of files left over!
