Topic: Help my C drive eating space (Read 2440 times)
lose all of my data is not good.
Backup and format.. that will work. I'm 100% sure 
^This is more likely the best way, after that install a very reliable antivirus and anti-malaware program.
lol..
but its still eating just gave 20 gb more to c after 2 3 restarts its back to 700 mb
why

whySounds like windows update or something is just eating space. Hmm, maybe you have a corrupted update or something.

I saw your topic title, and realized I was hungry for a fast food burger.
WTF
Is it real?
Yes, I definitely have time to make up random graphs and get someone to upload it on backblaze.com for me, just to win an argument versus some random on the internet. Is it real?
Some people would go to that extent that's the problem. LIke I said do a full reinstall and then start again.
My guess is its Karma coming to bite you in the arse like u deserve
Seagate had switched or been sold out to somebody if I recall. The drive productions had changed just around or after the .11 series drives. I had always used seagates line and never had issues until I tried to run the .11 series drives in raid. It was a later well known issue and a real nightmare as my raid setup drives died one (or 2) at a time. I couldn't rma them fast enough honestly.

This is a good tool to answer the question "where the hell did all my free disk space go?"

Maybe you have blockchain data stored there, did you install bitcoin-qt recently ? How about checking each folder and making an estimation what could be wrong. Why don't you give us more data about drive? How big is it ? If you have 20GB drive than it's obvious that you will need bigger one to get at least 3 movies on it.
8 gb cache can't replace a full SDD, no way. This is just marketing, I wanna see tests.
Thank you for that contribution to an argument that no-one is having.
The comment was that, for me, SSHD is a perfect trade-off between the limitation of the small volume sizes and high cost of SSD and the lower performance of HDD.
Is it a perfect trade-off overall? No. They suck.
You have no idea what you're talking about. This is a product made by Seagate.
Enjoy.

No one is disputing that.

Reinstall windows. Might be that you lost control over your files and updates and blockchains and etc and they just eat all of your space, or a virus. I wouldn't try to gamble the options.
Learn to have a separate partition to personal files and blockchains, so you can have more clue about what is going on if that happens again.
Use ccleaner and run antivirus stuff, and be carefull and trust no one.

I'm much more of a fan of Hybrid SSD/spindle drives personally, you gain the performance improvement on the day-to-day tasks, without the limitation of low storage space and excessively high costs. Small SSD's are great in laptops though, less to mechanically fail throughout the bumps and bangs of day to day life, although the stock ones do always seem to be on the low end of the available drive size.
Except for the huge failure rates and not much of a performance benefit.
The stats disagree with you.

It's certainly enough of a performance benefit that it made a notable different in day to day use when I introduced them. No failures yet amongst ~100 or so drives, but only 12 months in.
