$

I have a second local, physical hard drive on a Hyper-V Server 2012 deployment.  This 500gb drive (and its RAID1 counterpart) have the sole purpose to store VHD(x) containers.  What is the minimum amount of free space required for normal operation of the Hypervisor, defragmenting, swap, etc?

  • ~100%?
  • 99%
  • 75%
  • Other?

Only references I can find on the subject:
