Can someone explain something about windows and disk space for me? by Mischief Maker 01/05/2019, 11:31am PST
Google has been no help so I'll just ask here.

Games are getting bigger and bigger and my 300GB SSD space is becoming an issue. I've heard people say you need to leave 25% free to maximize the speed and lifespan on these things.

Right now in "My Computer" it says the drive has 81.1 GB free, but under "properties" it lists ~87 billion bytes free.

What's up with the discrepancy between these two numbers? Are those missing 6 GB being used for something? And which one do I look at to decide if a certain game is gonna be too big for my drive?
