Burp Suite system requirements - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's system requirements page states that while most Burp Suite tasks run on a relatively low-spec machine, use cases such as running multiple scans concurrently may require significantly more power to avoid a noticeable effect on performance. It lists 2GB as the recommended minimum free disk space for a project, noting project files can grow to many tens of GB depending on proxy history, number of scans run, and number of open Repeater tabs.
What's compelling: A 2GB project minimum that can balloon to tens of GB means disk planning for Burp Suite is driven by proxy history and scan volume, not by the install itself - a detail that matters when multiple testers run concurrent scans on shared infrastructure.
