Yes 32 GB is really tight that's why Dell only used it as a Cache drive however I don't really recommend using Cache drives and in my opinion they are unreliable. I would rather install the OS directly on a SSD. I tried to do so in the past on a 64 GB and it was tight. I would recommend replacing the mSATA drive with the 128 GB drive as a minimum.

Hey guys, I bought in July 2012 the new L521X, today I decided I wanted to install Windows 8 so I read the Windows Reinstallation Guide [03-03-2013]. But now I have some issues. I formatted the parts that were possible to format because they were going to be useless. Since this XPS has a SSD of 32 GB I thought it woud be stupid not to install my OS on this part. I guess I chose the right part since this was shown as 18.5GB.  Now after installing Windows 8 I started downloading the drivers and installing some stuff. But then it came: Low disk space. The whole C drive has been used and my other drive has 680GB of free space. How can I make it possible that only my OS is on this SSD so I boot faster, but all my files and installs come on the F drive? Because at this moment I cannot do much anymore. This was kind of what I was scared of for installing a new OS that I wouldn't be able to put the SSD to use.   Thanks in advance!
OS reinstall on SDD all full
