Im not really sure at what im seeing here, is their anything out of the ordinary?

the bigger the box's the more space it take up so your page file is 7.9gb and your hibernation file is 5.9gb

a lot of guides for ssd's will tell you to disable them

also photoshop seems to be taking up a decent amount of space also

I didnt think I have PS open right now with a rather large file..I assume its picking that up as its open, or maybe it doesnt affect it.

ANy links as to how to disable these, and what noticeable difference would it make switching them off?
