How much space do you have on your C:\ drive?

[Kalec84]

As you know, for now we can only install oculus rift games on our main drive, wich is absurd, but the problem is being worked on...
I'm just curious, (and maibe it can be useful to someone) to know how many ppl have their "C" drive dedicated only for windows, and than is a big problem to install games on it...

Look at my post right above. We just launched the other drive feature.

1TB SSD EVO - But that's for windows and creative apps, after provisioning, recovery partition etc ... have around 224 GB Left (I use a large portion of that in temp files when im editing) ... have 3 other DATA drives where I keep movies, projects, assets, virtual machines, games etc

HURRA!!

My harddrive is partitioned 3-ways for windows, software, and media files... any benefit to doing this besides organization? I was told long ago it was also good for defrag, but now I'm not so sure that's a problem?

@jyoun You shouldn't defrag SSD drives, they organise themselves .. On a spinning disk accessing a file that has been split into chunks slows it down, but on an SSD its all available all at once, and if the file is fragmented all over the SSD it can be rebuilt with little latency on demand using proprietary algorithms.

@jyoun Maybe there was benefit at one point, today I don't think there is much reason to partition an HDD. Maybe the only valid reason is if you are trying to clone the Windows partition (for backup reasons) and don't wish to clone the entire drive. Otherwise it makes more sense to just buy another drive.

The install to C drive only using Oculus Home is the main reason I choose to buy from Steam if the game is available on both. The sharing of games is the other reason I choose Steam. I still can't believe even the 0.01 version of Oculus Home would not start with a choose your destination. I have 25 years of application development under my belt and even had this feature in my 1993 Turbo Pascal applications. Back then we even had A and B drives. 😉

Remember that for many YEARS Steam had no "choose your destination" feature either.

Yes and I hope others would of learned from their mistake.
