  1. Windows 10 file size for the files not in the drive is increasing


    Today I was checking my storage using Treesize. I found out that my drive is using 60.8 GB of my storage. When I went to the storage settings it said that my drive is using 63.1 GB of my storage. Yesterday when I checked my storage on the storage settings it was 60 GB of my storage. I talked to my cousin about this and he said that the same is happening to him. The amount of storage on TreeSize is different from the amount on the storage settings. My cousin says it's because there are files outside of the drive but, the problem with mine is that the file size increase while my cousin doesn't. Can someone help me?

    Stored files in Hard Drive

    You can use Windows search. Just search for *.* on a desired drive. When list is done just arrange them by size LOL.

    You can do it via command line as well and make an output text file showing files and their sizes (but without arrangement)

    page/swap file size and location for 2-3 hard drives

    Most recommend putting the page file on a seperate hard drive from Windows. So that one hard drive is reading and another hard drive is writting.

    MS recommends page file sizes of a Min 1.5X to a Max 3X system RAM. But they also say to have a page file on your OS drive for errors. That Windows will choose the Page file on the drive that Windows is not on.

    So my setups currently are:

    With 2 hard drives...
    --Windows/games/programs on 1st hard drive
    --Page File on 2nd hard drive (2 times the size of system ram@2gb, so 2048X2=4096 page file size)

    With 3 hard drives...
    --Windows on 1st hard drive
    --Games/programs on 2nd hard drive
    --Page file on 3rd hard drive (2 times the size of system ram@2gb, so 2048X2=4096mb page file size)

    How are these configurations?


    Does the maximum page/swap file size of 3X system ram apply to a single hard drive or all hard drives with swap files on the system total.

    Ie. can i put from example above a swap file on my system drive 4096mb and another page file on other drives of 4096mb each for a total of 2 page files or 4096X2 that is greater than the 3x system ram??

    thanks
