IF you leave the Cakewalk Command Center install and content paths set to their defaults, you will chew up MASSIVE amounts of space on your C: drive



 MASSIVE  ? come on now
 I have everything installed with rollbacks that go back 5 months and my cache is 18GB.
you bring up a good point though Bob. im sure when he is copying the Cache over he will have an idea how big it is.


Massive is indeed quite subjective.  I DO completely agree with that.
 
From MY perspective, 18 GB out of the 6 TB of hard drive space in my primary DAW is indeed peanuts.
 
On the other hand 18 GB from 'just in case' saved downloads coming out of available space on a 120 GB SSD drive IS massive, to me.  It's still only 15% or so out of the total space for that SSD, BUT once you look at free space available after things like Windows and all applications, there may only be 50-60 GB to start with, and against THAT amount, 18 GB is certainly a bunch, in addition to there being lots of info out there suggesting that filling an SSD up past a certain amount is not a good idea.
 
So, the above is what I looked when choosing to use the word massive in my earlier post.  If it doesn't apply, that's fine - for me it does. :)
