for win7, you need at least a 30gb ssd... so thats at least $70...
still worth it to me!!!
Are you sure about this? I have a 60gb OCZ Vertex 2 and after loading up Win7 64 bit and XBMC I have about 27gb of space left. This is why I went with a 60gb ssd instead.

Windows fits on a 30GB as long as its just Windows and XBMC. You want Office, games, etc, go bigger...

windows tales ~16GB....
so on a 30GB SSD, you got plenty of space XBMC + APPLICATIONS
However, i agree that, if your a heavy duty gamer,
you'll have to go 60GB SSD...
if not, a 30GB is for you

Strange, all I have is Win7 Home Premium 64 bit + xbmc installed on my 60gb OCZ SSD and it says I only have 27gb left...This was a fresh install of Win7 OEM without an extra applications.

I have the same result, but I did load v3.6 Dark Edition and it loads a bunch of goodies.

well your using an un-official windows version so,
those come pre-bloated with stuff...
Also, have you optimized your SSD?

Doing so reclaims disk space!

Laserray Wrote:about 26-27 gigsI have an official version with nothing on it.
That being said, I checked around some more and my 60gb OCZ Vertex 2 is only showing 51gb of available space. Since I have about 28gb of storage left, that means Win7+XBMC+Mysql+VLC takes up about 23gb of space. My xbmc thumbnails folder alone is 3gb and Mysql is 0.5gb. That leaves about 19gb for Windows. I guess my install is pretty consistent.
The questions now is why my 60gb SSD is only showing 51gb available? Thats a 15% decrease. Given the price of these SSD, that is a lot. Have I been swindled by OCZ? Do other SSDs also have this type "less than advertised space" issue?

there something weird going on in your system tboooe....
not sure what it is as im not in front of it....
Like i said, many bought the 30GB Kingston SSD to hold win7+XBMC
and no one complained about lack of space...
i really wonder whats going on in your system....

Ok, after some research, I found this article:. It explains why I only have 51gb out of 60gb available.
