I have installed Windows 7 on 2 x Force 3 Raid 0. The size of the files on the raid are about 14Gb, but the amount of the drive used according to Windows is 70Gb!!

Is there anything I can look for or something that is wrong?
 
Check your Page File size.

Having 32GB of RAM it's probably quite large.

You've also probably got 32GB reserved for system hibernation so turn it off if you don't use it.

Open an elevated Command Prompt with administrator rights by typing Cmd in Start Search, and then hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter keyboard shortcut.

Or select Run as Administrator from the Cmd in search results.

Type the following command and hit Enter: powercfg /hibernate off
