Hi! I have SSD for 120 GB, I just re-installed windows 7 x64, hard drive shows 75 GB free of 119 GB, all data takes 15.9 GB + shadow storage with 5.9 GB (which is a lot). Question: where is the rest? There is nearly 20 GB is missing. I can't find location with old windows and files. There is information on the internet, but I'm tired of reading too much outdated stuff. I've installed CCleaner, but I don't know how to use it properly. Help!

storage I bought an SSD and I'm crazy.
VooDooPC posted a topic in Tech Reviews, Support and PC Builds
So, I splurged and bought an SSD. I have an older motherboard which doesn't have SATA 3 support which gave me two options, buying a PCI-e add-on card and then an SATA 3 SSD or I could just buy a PCI-e SSD. I decided to go the more expensive but faster route, the PCI-e SSD. Well, it was kind of more expensive, buying a good SATA 3 add-on card is pretty expensive. I bought the RevoDrive 3 240gb. It was around $550 (inorite?) and is really the last upgrade I wanted to do to my PC before I held off on updating for a while. The rest of my PC is from around early 2009 (i7 920, GTX 480 6gb DDR 3 memory), I've been wanting an SSD since then but never had the cash on hand until now. I know people are all like, "oh my, windows starts so fast!" and you know what? They are totally right! From seeing the Windows logo to my computer being done starting with all programs loaded (Steam, Skype, Logitech stuff, Daemon Tools, EVGA Precision, FiTbit tracker, Kasperksy, Nvidia Settings thing, some motherboard sound junk) It takes about 3-5 seconds. File copying is around 160mb/s, my old hard-drive copied at around 30mb/s when it was settled. Most programs start near instantly and I'm usually the first or second person to load levels in MP. The rated transfer speed is 1000mb read and 900mb write. For comparison sakes: My Old Drive My New Drive As you can see from the Transfer Rate at the bottom this makes my new drive about... ummm.... carry the one...uhhh.... A BILLION TIMES faster! -
The feds shut it down even though it follows through on DMCA takedown requests. Go figure. May be time for me to go to... oh wait. Nevermind. We never speak of it. http://www.foxnews.c...haring-website/ Oh yeah, this means that icefilms.info and vidoox.com are no more. Or at least not functioning for a good while.

So what should I get? I've been trying to read up a little because I am honestly out of the loop on these things. I see that the normal size is either 120 or 128GB. I've seen reference to the OCZ Octane but cannot find them for sale anywhere. I think I want to grab one and use it for my large games like BF3 and MW3 which do a lot of loading, especially BF3 which takes several minutes to load up for me. I do not want to spend over $200 on one and want it to provide enough space for my steam games (plan on cleaning up additional unplayed games) and Windows. So this is what I do not know: What should I be looking for? Read/write speeds? Life expectancy? etc etc.
