i've recently buyed a ssd hyperX fury 120gb and i was wondering if i need to leave some free space on it.If yes how many gb do i need to leave free for the ssd to run at its full potential.I currently have the os installed,cs go ,and the pagefile.
I have like 61 gb left with all the pagefile and other small apps.The pagefile is about 12000mb.
i know its a dumb question but i need some advice. :)
 


It's best to leave at least 30% free. So I'd recommend keeping usage under 90GB.

The pagefile can probably be reduced. But as USAFRet stated, we need to know how much RAM you have before we can recommend a file size.

1. hibernation - Don't disable through regedit, see the link I posted above. commandline. Turns it OFF and deletes the existing hiberfil.sys

2. Pagefile - with 8GB RAM, turn it down to 2GB or so, min/max.
I have 16GB RAM, and have it set at 1GB min/max. Been that way for years. No issues.
