Any SSD less than 60GB is not worth buying if you're going to use it for O/S drive. A Windows 7 install plus all of the updates requires 19-20GB of disk space.

It would be best for you to save up for a SSD 64GB and greater in capacity.

64 GB's would be the smallest anyone looking to win 7 should get.

120 or more would be recommended amount.

A 16GB will not work.

For Win7, Microsoft says "16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit) "
However...On my 128GB, just the Windows folder takes up 26GB. The Users folder takes 16.2GB.

How cheap is 'pretty cheap'? And from who?
