Hey guys,
I've got a 32GB Patriot Torqx 2 SSD with Windows 7 64 bit installed and a 750GB Western Digital Caviar Black HDD as my secondary drive. When I install programs on my 750G hard drive using the Windows 7 OS installed on my SSD I lose about 300MB (approx .3GB) with every install. When I uninstall that same program, it does not free up the space yet all of the files of that program are deleted. Is there a setting I am missing to cause it to regain the space or do I just have a faulty SSD? All replies are appreciated, but quick responses would be greatly appreciated since tomorrow is the last day I can RMA the SSD. I'm thinking I'll just get a 120GB and RMA this one in case the new one has the same issue and at least I'd have plenty of space.
Thanks in advance!
Mike
