    Windows 10 storage leak using 902GB on spare SSD and 200GB on OS drive


    shows that the data is unknown cant tell what it is, treesize program doesn't even see it. if i hard format the drive space comes back but slowly builds back up until it consumes whole drive. wind dir stat just shows the data as unknown.

    64Gb SSD for OS or 2Tb HDD for storage ?!

    I suggest that you get the 2tb for storage. SSDs are only useful if you want to boot things fast like OS and programs. I actually suggest you get both if you have that many movies.

    Windows 10 storage leak using 902GB on spare SSD and 200GB on OS drive

    64Gb SSD for OS or 2Tb HDD for storage ?!

    If you don't need an SSD, get the 2tb drive. I have two SSDs, one 64gb for some programs and the OS, and a 180gb SSD for my games. Storage is on a 1tb HDD. If you don't use programs that profit considerably from an SSD (photoshop) and can live with Windows taking a bit longer to boot, get the 2tb drive.
