Just wondering how much space should i leave my SSD clean from?
I dont want the performance to be hindered but is there any rough gauge like maybe 10% of it should nvr be touched? Thanks in advance.

I dun think you will hinder any performance if you do over-provisioning.

Most of the SSD brands will come with their SSD Toolbox, which you can let you set the over-provisioning settings.

Correct me if I am wrong.

For me, I am using 10% for my 256GB.

From what I recalled, SSD need to remain higher than 20-30% free space in order to perform optimally.

Common issues.

Check all your internet downloads over the webs. Im sure the things you download are still in the ssd. Also make sure to set your internet browser to store downloads in hdd rather than in ssd.
