Thanks for all that. I, too, always wondered. I've always left about 50 gig free. Wasn't sure if true or just superstition, or bad rumors. I never asked... guess I'll stop wasting drive space from now on.
Thank you all... for asking AND answering. A neglected curiosity solved! Lol

RE: Does this view mean that the pool is downposted in Mining & Plotting
I'm getting the same view. All is working well.. just the view is not updating. I've tried flushing browser history, ect... If I do get it figured out I'll post what it was. (frustrating, but I'm sure it's something I'll clear or reset that will do it. - can't reboot the machine right now... I'm plotting the slowest 8 tb seagate EVER! Lol)

RE: Post your plotting speeds here. Plotting hardware comparison.posted in Mining & Plotting
Processor: i7 6700 3.4 GHs
Memory: 16 GB DDR3 (but I think xplotter set to use 4 G by default? still new... not sure.)
Hard disk: External WD 6 TB My Book
Plotter: Xplotter - AVX in administrator mode
Speed: 8 threads = aprox 12,500 and 6 threads = aprox 10,200 nonce/minute.Surfing Youtube and on-line window shopping did drop it a little, but only by 100 - 500 nonce/minute.
(gotta dream about the next drive purchase. It's now an addiction! Lol)(Was worried about loosing the use of my machine while I plotted... no worries... doesn't seem to mind much. Lol.)
Took about 40 hrs to plot 5.5 TB on a 6 TB external USB 3.0 Western Digital 6 TB My Book drive.
