Cuz I think it was all the updates and crap from ms

But it was more of a want then I needed a ssd so going to pass I'm a fan of hd space I got 6.5 tb right now

My OS install with all updates, drivers, and small apps is 14GB. A 64GB M4 is ~59GB formated, leaving ~45GB. You dont want to go under half capacity, the performance generally drops after that. Also, if you format the drive to a smaller capacity to begin with, it adds space for garbage collection, and is area of the drive that doesnt get written to on a daily basis, making the drive last longer. So for a 64GB drive, if you formatted it to be 53GB instead of 59GB, you are giving it about another 10% of space. So with 39GB left after OS/updates/drivers, you still have a bit of room for a few things here or there. (the overprovisioning is really only good for Intel/Micron/Samsung drives, not recomended for Sandforce)

I have a 64GB M4 for OS, 160GB VelociRaptor for apps, 450GB VelociRaptor for games, 4x2TB Samsung F4s for movies/shows, and a 1TB black external drive for transfers.
