After installing a fresh copy of windows 7, how much actual free space is on the drive?

depends on which version of windows, 7 32bit or 64? and if home or ultimate, Microsoft dot com answers that clearly,,,, it also varies if you have the W7 with service packs, and or all hot fixes to the moment, like I have. about 7.4GB, no page file no hibernation file, both are options. right now my SSD drive, windows folder only 64bit, home, is 26GB, many folks report 30. but this drive is huge. 10x that. unlike my old 120gb drive SSD. does this help.

Hello. It will vary. You should probably see about 230GB usable remaining space give or take after the install of Windows 7.

Well, I have to let you know. It has 3 partitions. One with 372 GB used for Win, the other 537 GB free space, and the last one 931 GB. That what it shows in my PC.

There will be nothing on the hard drive left. Its wiped clean. You'll have to reinstall with new software.

Manufactures report the number of bits usable by their drives assuming that a kilobyte is 1000 bits (decimal thinking), while Windows reports the number of bits assuming a kilobyte is 1024 bits (binary thinking). Google "(1000^3 * 32 * 8) / (1024^3 * 8)" to get the amount of space in GiB, which is how much usable space you have as reported in the Windows operating system. Windows should report 29.8 GB usable on a freshly formatted drive. This has *nothing* to do with Windows 8 certification.

I can't remember any pre-installed programs being on this drive when I bought it but there certainly aren't any on it now, and I have not formatted it. It's possible I deleted a folder or two when I got it but I can't remember.

My computer running Windows 7 Ultimate reports Capacity 31,005,667,328 bytes 28.8 GB. Hope that helps. Extremely fast by the way.

Confirmed @ 116.44GB. It also has an unlabeled partition of 14.65GB for the backup.

I plugged my 128GB drive and also see only 119 GB. I am running FAT32 on Win 7 and got the same amount. Tried formatting in NTFS?

With Windows 8.1 upgrades fully installed and clean up the C drive with Ccleaner and Bleachbit portableApps, it only uses 35.9 GB, still have lots of space for other programs.

Drive 1 comes partitioned in 5 partitions. 100mb system partition (done by windows), a 900MB OEM partition, two free-space partitions of about 109 GB in size (which I combined into a C drive with a size of 217.37GB) and an additional 20GB OEM partition. Drive 2 comes with two free-space partitions roughly 465GB in size (which I also combined). So when you boot it up for the first time, you have 4 lettered drives, sizes being 109GB, 109GB, 465GB, and 465GB. As I said I combined partitions so my drive C is 217GB and my drive D is 931GB.

After installation it totals at 3,847 MB or 3.8 GB. I don't believe there is any updates for it though.

I am not sure I understand the question. As the photo depicts, when you insert the hard drive, the entire "bay" or space is occupied.

The maximum amount of memory you can add in this unit is 4GB on a 32-bit system, and 8GB on a 64-bit system. When you indicate 250GB seems like you are referring to the hard drive. The max windows 7 will take is 16TB, the maximum your system can take depends on the bios of your system.

Actual usable storage space varies slightly by manufacturer but there is a reasonably predictable trend : 16gb = 14.7gb, 32gb = 29.4gb, 64gb = 59.2gb, 128gb should equal appx. 118gb of usable space. Bear in mind that while computers read in binary measurements of 2 to the ? power, people simplify this to a base 10 number. Thus 1024?b for the computer becomes 1000?b for people. 128,000,000,000 bytes actually = 119.209GB

Windows 8 Developer's preview build fits on a normal DVD the last time I checked, so 8gb is more than enough space. I dont remember the exact size of the ISO but it might have been 3.7gb in which a 4gb might suffice but for the price it's better to just get a 16gb.
