Right HD Size? Please help....!

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am buying a new system for FSX and trying to get a SSD. What is a reasonable size, given the FTC that those are quite expensive?

I am planning to include:

 

FSX acceleration

Few aircrafts (around 5) from Carenado

Reality XP gauges and GPS

EZ Cam

ORBX fTX Golbal, vector, England, Scotland, Wales

Few ORBX airports

REX4

Active Sky Next

VoxATC (with few AT&T or Ivona voices)

FS Instant Approach Pro

FS Flightscholl 2014 Pro

 

Could I get away with 120GB SSD for everything, and putting the OS in a second, standard HD?

 

Many thanks!

256 as a minimum IMHO.

 

I just left a 120 that was 90 % full.... Got a 500GB Evo for 240 on amazon

Got a Samsung 1TB (actually got 2 of them) on my new Jetline System.  I use FSX on one of them, and the other is for everything else.  I decided that when I had this system built (my 2nd Jetline over last 6 years) that FSX has too much great scenery that takes up so much space that I wasn't going to worry about downloading anymore.  These SSD's have eliminated that worry.
