120GB adequate for OS ?

[klop]

Hi, would 120GB be adequate for the OS

 

Will be running Hyper-v and Veeam - but that's pretty much all

 

Thanks

Where are you storing all your Hyper-v Hosts and Veeam back ups?

 

For Os install then i would say yes.

[sparkeh]

OS only? Then yes.

Cheers guys, backups to a NAS (separate building) and Hyper-V hosts separate RAID

 

Thank you - I was nervous it might not be enough :-)

FWIW I usually only allocate about 64GB on our servers!

My hosts have a pair of 300gb 10k sas raid 1 and they are running 2012r2 hyper v clustered. They only have about 25gb used.

 

I'm seriously considering replacing them with 2x 120gb enterprise SSD and repurposing the 4x 300gb drives from both hosts into our storage array.

I have 40 GB for my Server install and Hyper-v installed and its more then enough.

[klop]

Brilliant - 120 it is then!

Still got some servers running 72GB RAID 1 drives for OS - unless your splitting up exchange/SQL installs for log files/databases then its more than adequate.

I have some PCs with 80G disks running win 7 ent quite happily

 

and I think the floppy drives and parallel printer ports on them work - although I can't be bothered trying them

When building servers, for the OS partition, I tend to make them as small as possible - usually no more that 40GB. I end up installing any programs onto a second drive.
