    Default Mini 1000 SSD running out of space

    My HP Mini 1000 is running out of room quickly on it's 16gb SSD. I've been thinking about compacting the SSD is that a good idea or what?

    Don't bother - what you (and the file system) sees isn't "real" - the SSD hardware is keeping it
    "compacted" as part of its wear leveling of the erase blocks - you only see a "virtual" disk surface.

    Depending on what OS your running - there are some things you can do to give yourself more room.

    16GB for XP is a stretch. Other than removing all non-essential software, a bigger drive is in order.
