Where's my extra space?

Hi,

I have a 120GB Vertex 2 SSD and space is constantly an issue for me meaning i have to keep an eye on what's installed to the drive. I have Windows 7, a few programmes, Steam/Origin on it and use a 1TB HDD to keep music, movie and other files on. I've had a quick tot up and there's about 12.5GB of space that i can't account for. Total available space in shows as 107GB, am i right in thinking the missing 13Gb is to do with trim? That's not the missing part anyway, having shown hidden files and counting up there's still the missing 12.5Gb from the 107Gb total.

Anyone have any idea where the extra space might be?

Very strange. It's definitely always been 107Gb. I remember wondering why i didn't get the full 120GB at the time and thinking 10% was a lot to lose so thanks for the explanation/information.

4Gb isn't much space to lose i guess but i'd still be interested in finding out why it isn't available. Can anyone give me any pointers as to what it could be?

Ak, ok. Well not great but at least that explains where it's gone. Thanks
