W7 OCZ SSD drive reports full, is not

[crucero]

Recently bought used 120GB OCZ SSD, It came with some files & on checking the drive reported as being full. On checking the actual file size they totalled 40gig. I cleaned out the drive, did a firmware upgrade, changed the bios to ACHI. On a restart the drive reported correctly, initially & after I had transferred files onto it.
While running a flight sim loaded onto the drive I got a message that the drive was full, but it is nowhere near full in fact.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Hmm I remember that the Intel SSD had a firmware issue that was reporting the drive being smaller than it really was. I wonder if this is a similar firmware issue. you should check on the OCZ forum.

Thanks for you reply, no that is not the answer, however since posting I have found & corrected the cause. It is the paging file, it appears that it is W7's equivalent of 'virtual memory' . The system seems to make a beeline for the fastest Drive & fills it up. I have now disabled the paging file on that drive & all is normal again. :lol:
