RAM and SSD space have effects on eachother?

djshine2012 · Oct 11, 2015

Hi, someone recently told me that if my ssd space is lower than my rams gb is gonna affect my performance. my ssd fuul space is 25 gb and i have 7 gb free and my ram is 8gb, so if this is true i might have a problem. is this real?

What size SSD is this, and how much used space?

The only way RAM size affects space on the SSD is hibernation and pagefile size.
The hibernation file takes up the same size as your RAM
The default page file is 1x or 1.5x the RAM size.

the SSD is 27 GB but i have only 7 gb left. im not talking about ram size affecting ssd but ssd size affecting ram. they told me that if i have a free space lower than 8 gb (my ram's gb) it is going to be slower

The SSD is 27GB? What type of device is this?
'they told me...'. They who?

And no....RAM size has nothing to do with free space on the SSD.

Now...there may be some issue with the pagefile, if that still lives on the SSD and if it is the default size.

A desktop, with a 30GB Kingston SSD.

While barely usable, that drive is WAY too small for regular use with a Windows OS.

But no....the free space on the SSD and the RAM size have nothing to do with each other. It does not make things 'slower'.
Where did you read this?
