A minimum of 10GB of free space is necessary for the system, the database and log files. For better performance, Tranquil IT recommends the database to be stored on fast storage, such as SSD drives or PCIe-based solid-state drives.
The overall disk requirement will depend on the number and size of your WAPT packages (software) that you will store on your main repository; 30GB is a good start. It is not strictly required to store WAPT packages on fast drives.
