My data storage is relatively small compared to many I know. The fact that I still shoot photos on a 4 megapixel camera helps. The few videos I do process on my computer, either favorites downloaded from YouTube or home videos, I write to video DVDs and delete from the HDD.

C: 15 GB free of 232 GB
D: 445 GB free of 465 GB

Excuse my ignorance , but is it possible then to move my FSX folder from C drive to D drive and be able to run it from there ? I was under the impression that D was just for storage .

I have some ORBX products and want more but C drive is getting rather full !

Yes, you should be able to just move it.

I've got nearly 3 quarters free of a WD Caviar Black 1tb drive.....I always uninstall stuff I'm not playing and don't play loads of games anyways. Someone told me that the drive would run better this way and if you don't have much space left performance can be affected. Is this bollocks? Probably, lol. Just took their word for it. I don't download "E-books" and all that malarkey (I'd rather read a proper book, thanks very much hehe) and watch films etc on DVD.

I only bought a computer so I could shoot virtual Nazis out of the Sky's (and in the face), and blow up French people with experimental Howitzers.....If the truth be told. hahaha
