45 gigs on internal and 20gigs on external where I store most of the planes.Carl Perry 7 year sim pilot

Just built a new system three weeks ago, but managed to copy over all of my files from the old machine so it sits at 82Gb on a separate Raptor drive.

17.5 GB, compressed to 8.88 GB (Chinese people would love that :(). I don't see any performance difference, so compressed it will remain... and me thinking I had used too much hard drive space....Best regards from Colombia,Luis Miguel

because in Chinese 8 sounds like "prosper", hence their favorite number.
