[OPLINTECH] SSD size for Windows 10

[Fred Miller Jr]

Here at the Auglaize County Library System we have went to the new Intel NUC computers and love them. You can pick your own m.2 SSD stick as well as the RAM that goes into it. I have purchased Windows 10 64-bit and a 128GB M.2 SSD stick and have plenty of room left for updates over time. We have had some for a couple of months now with no problems at all. Dan, we also use these for our Circulation desk computers and self-check machines.

Hope that helps,

I would think that 128gb would be enough but, as I am looking into new pcs with SSDs as well, I am interested in what others think.

Hello All,

I am getting ready to purchase some Windows 10 computers for circulation desks.  They will have Windows 10 64 bit, MS Office, and Workflows installed on them.  Will a 128 GB SSD be large enough to allow for 5-6 years of Windows updates?  There is a considerable jump in price when you go to a 256 GB SSD.

I have 6 year old Windows 7 computers running on 60 GB SSD.  A couple of those were down to 1 GB of free space until I dumped all of the download files from Windows update.  After deleting those files, the freep space was between 10-12 GB.

After working with computers with SSD, I wouldn't want to use anything else.
