Ah, I understand now. But that’s a fairly useless piece of information overall as when you set the disk cache size you should take that into account, i.e. all caches full should be slightly less than capacity of disk.
Anyway to turn this off?

Stephen, you said that you had set the disk cache to 125GB, and the drive has 150GB of free space. I said that the warning would occur if the free space was 1.25x the cache size or smaller. In your case, 1.25x125GB= 156.25GB > 150GB, so you’re getting the message.
This is just an informational message meant to tell you that with your disk cache set to its current size, if it fills up, _other_ software may be inconvenienced because your disk may get closer to full than you might be ready for.
There is nothing to worry about.

But there’s plenty of free space on the disk – larger than the entire cache set size.

After Effects gives the warning if there isn’t adequate headroom beyond what you’ve specified for use by the disk cache. If you specify N for the disk cache and there’s 1.25N or less free on the drive, then the warning appears. It’s just an informational warning.

Subject: [AE] AE SSD Bug?
I’m getting strange behavior in AE since installing an SSD for caching. If I have the disk cache nearly full or full, exit AE, when I re-enter I get the message that the disk cache is not large enough for free space on disk. However, it’s a 256GB SSD, AE cache is set to 125 and disk has 150 GB free space.
Emptying the disk cache make the error go away until it fills again.
